The Sugden Prize has been awarded to N. Swaminathan, G. Xu, A. Dowling and R. Balachandran on “Heat release rate correlation and combustion noise in premixed flames”, published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (2011), vol. 681, pp. 80-115. The prize is made annually for the best paper with at least one British Section member as author. The panel was chaired by Roger Cracknell, with assistance from Tony Griffiths, Bill Jones and Yannis Hardalupas.
