These machines are the principle technology for the world's energy conversion processes and improving their efficiency is crucial for reducing the environmental impact of power generation and aviation. Our research projects cover virtually all types of turbomachinery technology and we work closely with industry leaders to ensure the results from our work are incorporated into future technological developments. The lab Our research projects cover a broad range of turbomachinery technologies We have an extensive track record of successful collaboration with industry (particularly with Rolls-Royce but also with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Dyson, Siemens and others) and with other word-leading research organisations. Work is divided, approximately equally, between computational simulation of the flow and experimental measurements taken in a wide variety of facilities. Our research areas Research with a real-world impact New projects are always being developed and applications from high quality graduate students and post-doctoral researchers are welcome at any time. Prospective PhD students are encouraged to apply to the new EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Propulsion and Power, an exciting joint-venture between the universities of Cambridge, Oxford and Loughborough with extensive support from several industry partners.
