Hydrogen safety and low-carbon combustion

HECS studies how hydrogen disperses after a leak and how low-carbon fuels mix, ignite, and burn in engines. We combine experiments and computational modelling to investigate fuel safety and combustion at IIT Guwahati.

Research themes

FocusSix themes, one question: how fuels ignite, burn and disperse
