In 2010, Dr Changjian Wang from the Fire Risk Assessment Section obtained the support of Incoming International Fellow, Seventh Framework Programme(IIF FP7) and recently left the SKLFS for a two-year research on fire and explosion in UK.

‘European Framework programmes' (FPs) have been the main financial tools through which the European Union supports research and development activities. These cover almost all scientific disciplines such as energy, environment, information and communication technology, nanoscience and technology, material and its manufacturing technology, health, food and biological technology etc. The broad objectives of FPs have been grouped into four categories: Cooperation, Ideas, People and Capacities. FPs have been implemented since 1984 and FP6 was successfully ended in 2006. The current FP is FP7, which runs up to the end of 2013. It was proposed that the maximum overall amount for Community financial participation in FP7 should be about EUR 50 000 million. 　　 

In 2009, Dr Wang as research fellow and Jennifer Wen as research host applied for IIF FP7, and obtained a budget with the total amount of 2.3 million Yuan in 2010. The project will start in 2011 and end in 2014. It is noted in this project that the research fellow must work for two years in the Host University. In July 2011, Dr Wang left for Kingston University, as a senior researcher. He will focus his research on large scale fire and explosion induced by the leakage of combustible gas and liquid fuels. The details are as follows: (1) Develop chemical reaction model for large-scale combustion of gas fuels such as hydrogen, methane, propane and etc.  Extend large eddy simulation and direct numerical simulation for large-scale gas fire and explosion. Address gas jet fire behavior and heat transfer characteristics, and the mechanisms of flame acceleration and transition to detonation in the process of large-scale gas cloud explosion. (2) For liquid jet fire, develop its combustion model, spray model, soot model, radiation model and related numerical simulation method. Investigate liquid fuel jet fire characteristics and heat transfer characteristics, and establish parametric prediction model.
