A two-day workshop was held to identify and compile research questions and needs to
advance basic turbulent combustion research towards capabilities that allow predictive
simulations at the design level for practical devices. Recognizing the state-of-the-art simulation capabilities and inherent limitations with computational resources the focus is on
Large Eddy Simulations as a pathway to this goal. This report documents not only scientific
and technical questions related to shortcomings in our current understanding of turbulent
combustion, but also addresses procedural challenges. Key bottlenecks and research
needs are addressed and described but the report also emphasizes that the conduct
of research has to adapt to the complex nature of turbulent combustion by fostering collaborations and long-term funding horizons.This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Number 1438956.
