This autumn Thematic School will offer general lectures on radiation transfer in semi-transparent media, covering gases, plasmas, particles suspensions as well as dense and porous materials. Numerical methodologies to solve the radiative transfer equation will be tackled.

The program aims to offer basic and advanced courses that provide doctoral students, researchers and engineers from academic institutions and private companies with robust methodologies enabling them to meet major contemporary industrial challenges where radiative transfers are inevitable.

This includes both the reliable decarbonisation of high-temperature industrial processes as well as the reusability of spacecraft subjected to hypersonic flight regimes. 

This school is endorsed by SFT and ICHMT.
