Abstract

Seventeen years ago, at the Tokyo International Combustion Symposium, I was asked to give a personal overview of the past and future of combustion research in a plenary lecture (1). Since then many profound and important changes which affect our subject have taken place. It was undoubtedly very rash of me but, having again been offered the opportunity to air my prejudices, I could not resist the occasion not only to hold up my former forecast to the cold light of hindsight but, more particularly, to assess the effects of developments and constraints which have arisen since then on projections for the future of combustion research. From the many new developments, I have tried to focus on those relevant to the topics of this meeting.
