Welcome to ODU Computational Combustion Lab

The Computational Combustion Lab (CCL) at Old Dominion University specializes in advanced computational fluid dynamics, high-performance computing, and high-fidelity multiphysics modeling for reacting flows. Our research focuses on understanding and optimizing complex propulsion and energy systems, ranging from traditional internal combustion engines and gas turbines to cutting-edge rotating detonation and hypersonic propulsion systems. By integrating traditional CFD with modern machine learning and artificial intelligence frameworks, we aim to push the boundaries of modern combustion-powered engineering.
