9th International Seminar
on Fire and Explosion Hazards

Second announcement and call for papers
The 9th International Seminar on Fire and Explosion Hazards will be organized by the Autonomous Non-profit Organization "Fire and Explosion Safety" with the support by the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) and the Gefest company, St. Petersburg. During its more than 20-year history, the Seminar has become one of the important international events in fire and explosion science and engineering.
Researchers and practitioners in fire and explosion hazards are now cordially invited to submit papers to the 9th Seminar, which will present the latest developments in several topical areas emerging in a wide range of industrial applications and in the environment.

The Seminar agenda will include invited plenary lectures, oral presentations of the peer-reviewed papers, and a poster session. An extensive and flexible social program will provide exciting opportunities to enjoy the fascinating city of Saint-Petersburg for participants and accompanying persons.
Papers are invited in all areas of fire and explosion studies, mitigation and prevention, including but not limited to:
  • Combustion fundamentals of fires and explosions
  • Gas and dust explosions
  • Deflagration, DDT, detonation and their mitigation
  • Hydrogen safety
  • Industrial risk and sustainability
  • Material flammability and flame retardancy
  • Fire suppression systems
  • Combustion in microgravity
  • Fire modeling and computer codes
  • Critical and transient combustion phenomena (ignition, extinction, flame spread)
  • Industry-specific fire research: aerospace, oil and gas, nuclear, process industry
  • Wildland fires
  • Fire toxicity and pollutants
  • Evacuation
