Norbert Peters (10 July 1942 – 4 July 2015) was a professor at
Karlsruhe University of Technology and later at the Technical University of Berlin.[1] He worked in Rourkela Steel Plant
for six months.
Peters's primary research interest was in the field of
turbulent flames. The interaction between turbulence and combustion constituted an important part of his research. He was author of the book titled Turbulent Combustion, a monograph with excellent but challenging insights on the advances, problems, and active research in the field of combustion in turbulent flow media. He was well known for his ideas on the Laminar flamelet model
in turbulent combustion as well as for the systematic generation of reduced reaction mechanisms from detailed reaction mechanisms.
He had received numerous recognitions for his contributions,[2] including:
- Honorary Doctorate degrees from University of Brussels (1994), Technical University of Darmstadt (2002) and ETH Zurich(2010)
- Zeldovich Medal of Combustion Institute (2002) [3]
- Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (1990) [4]
- Member of the United States National Academy of Engineering (since 2002)
