Quintiere, Marshall, Trouvé present UM fire research in China

Professor Trouvé being interviewed at the 33rd International Symposium on Combustion in Beijing on future challenges for combustion and fire research.
Twenty-eight papers submitted to the 33rd International Symposium on Combustion were accepted for presentation in the Fire Research Colloquium. Profs. Quintiere, Marshall and Trouvé gave three of these twenty-eight presentations, thereby sharing with their international colleagues recent progress made at the University of Maryland on research topics such as candle flame shape (Quintiere), sprinkler spray characterization (Marshall) and diffusion flame extinction (Trouvé).
“The International Symposium on Combustion is a landmark event for combustion research,” says Trouvé. “Coming back from China, we are now looking forward to having our own big event at home next year.” The Department of Fire Protection Engineering at the University of Maryland will be hosting the 10th International Symposium of the International Association for Fire Safety Science (IAFSS) on June 19-24, 2011. The IAFSS Symposium is the premier scientific meeting in fire science and is a prestigious triennial event (for more information, visit http://www.iafss.org/ and http://www.iafss.org/html/Maryland/marylandhome.htm).
