Proceedings of the Combustion Institute
Proceedings of the Combustion Institute (commonly abbreviated as Proc. Combust. Inst.) is the proceedings title of The Combustion Institute, published on its behalf by Elsevier, with one volume every two years matched to the biennial International Symposium on Combustion. It carries forefront papers on the fundamentals and applications of combustion science, with electronic supplements such as reaction mechanisms and combustion movies.《燃烧学会会刊》（Proceedings of the Combustion Institute，常用缩写为 Proc. Combust. Inst.）是燃烧研究所（The Combustion Institute）的会刊，由爱思唯尔代为出版，每两年出一卷，卷号与两年一度的国际燃烧研讨会届次对应。刊物登载燃烧科学基础与应用的前沿论文，附反应机理与燃烧影像等电子补充材料。
Scope
The journal groups its papers by the colloquia of the symposium, covering:刊物按研讨会的话题分组收文，覆盖的方向包括：
- Reaction kinetics: chemical kinetics, mechanism generation and reduction, and model validation.反应动力学： 化学动力学、机理生成与简化、模型验证。
- Large molecules and soot: formation and evolution of soot, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other large molecules.大分子与碳烟： 碳烟、多环芳烃及其他大分子的生成与演化。
- Diagnostics: measurement and diagnostic methods for combustion, including novel sensing and laser techniques.诊断技术： 燃烧过程的测量与诊断方法，含新型传感与激光手段。
- Laminar and turbulent flames: structure and propagation of laminar flames, turbulent premixed and non-premixed flames.层流与湍流火焰： 层流火焰的结构与传播、湍流预混与非预混火焰。
- Heterogeneous and spray combustion: solid fuel combustion, droplet and spray combustion, supercritical combustion.异相与喷雾燃烧： 固体燃料燃烧、液滴与喷雾燃烧、超临界燃烧。
- Detonations, fire and applied systems: detonations, explosions and supersonic combustion, fire research, stationary combustion systems, engine and gas turbine combustion, and new technology concepts.爆轰、火灾与应用系统： 爆轰、爆炸与超音速燃烧，火灾研究，固定燃烧系统，内燃机与燃气轮机，以及新技术概念。
History
- Meetings at the root: scientific meetings in combustion reach back to a first symposium at Swampscott, Massachusetts in 1928, and the international sequence began in 1948.学术会议源头： 燃烧领域的学术聚会可追至 1928 年在马萨诸塞州斯旺普斯科特举行的首次燃烧研讨会，国际序列则始于 1948 年。
- Founding of the Institute: during the fifth international symposium at Pittsburgh in 1954, Bernard Lewis and Hoyt Hottel led the incorporation of The Combustion Institute, headquartered in Pittsburgh.学会成立： 1954 年在匹兹堡举行的第五届国际研讨会期间，伯纳德·刘易斯与霍伊特·霍特尔主持成立燃烧研究所，总部设于匹兹堡。
- Publishing arrangement: Elsevier publishes for the Institute, with volume numbers tracking the symposium series, volume 28 falling in 2000 and volume 40 in 2024.出版安排： 刊物由爱思唯尔代表学会出版，卷号与研讨会届次对应，第 28 卷为 2000 年，第 40 卷为 2024 年。
- Electronic supplements: the online edition adds reaction mechanisms, illustrating movies and other data that print never carried.电子版增补： 电子版附反应机理、燃烧影像等补充材料，这是纸本没有的部分。
- Symposium scale: the forty-first symposium met in Kyoto in July 2026, drawing nearly two thousand attendees and more than twelve hundred presentations, the largest in the series.会议规模： 第 41 届国际研讨会 2026 年 7 月在京都举行，近两千人与会、逾千二百人报告，为历届最大。
Editors
The journal runs on a board of editors rather than a single editor-in-chief. The publisher reports a median of 104 days from submission to acceptance and gives no acceptance rate.刊物实行编辑集体制，未设单一主编；出版方公布投稿至接受中位 104 天，未公布录用比例。
- Editors: Deanna Lacoste of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Michael Mueller of Princeton University and Fei Qi of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.现任编辑： 迪安娜·拉科斯特（Deanna Lacoste），阿卜杜拉国王科技大学；米夏埃尔·米勒（Michael Mueller），普林斯顿大学；齐飞（Fei Qi），上海交通大学。
- Sources of papers: beyond open submissions the journal carries the Institute's invited strategic and topical reviews, all put through rigorous peer review.稿件来源： 除自由投稿外，刊物还收录学会邀约的战略性与专题综述，全部经严格同行评审。
- Division with the sister title: the Institute's Combustion and Flame is a monthly of original research, while this journal follows the symposium cycle, and the two complement each other.姊妹刊分工： 学会的《燃烧与火焰》为月刊、登原始研究，本刊随研讨会周期出版，二者互补。
- Open access: the journal is hybrid, open access costs USD 4,460, and subscription publication is free to authors.开放获取： 本刊为混合开放获取，付费开放版面费 4,460 美元，订阅发表不向作者收费。
