Lean Blowout

Lean blowout (LBO) refers to the sudden flame extinction in lean combustion systems, a critical issue impacting engine efficiency and emissions. Current research focuses on developing accurate and computationally efficient LBO detection methods, primarily employing deep learning models trained on data from laboratory-scale combustors to identify pre-blowout conditions. This work is significant because reliable LBO detection is crucial for optimizing lean combustion engine operation, improving fuel efficiency, and minimizing harmful emissions. Furthermore, advancements in automated theorem proving using systems like Lean 4 are indirectly contributing by enabling more rigorous analysis of combustion models and potentially leading to improved predictive capabilities.
