SAFIRE

SAFIRE is a collaborative initiative, focused on advancing sustainable aviation technologies through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). It combines fundamental research and applied engineering to better understand spray combustion processes in aeroengines, addressing key challenges such as emissions reduction, thermo-acoustic stability, and fuel flexibility. By integrating advanced experimental campaigns with high-fidelity simulations and reduced-order models, SAFIRE aims to develop innovative injector designs and combustion chamber concepts optimized for SAF, while generating valuable open-access datasets for the research community.

PTG plays a central role in SAFIRE by contributing its expertise in high-performance computing and combustion modeling. PTG supports the development of advanced numerical tools, including high-fidelity simulations and reduced-order models, to characterize spray combustion, emissions, and thermo-acoustic behavior. In addition, PTG is involved in transferring state-of-the-art modeling approaches into industrial workflows, enabling the adaptation of simulation tools to modern supercomputing architectures and supporting the creation of digital design frameworks for next-generation aeroengine components.
