The US National Combustion Meeting is the premier combustion science meeting in the US and has been organized biennially since 1999 by the US Sections of The Combustion Institute (the Eastern States Section or ESSCI, the Central States Section or CSSCI, and the Western States Section or WSSCI). The 10th US National Combustion Meeting will be held at the College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center located on the campus of the University of Maryland at College Park.
