Profile
Dr James Scobie is a Lecturer and a member of the Turbomachinery Research Centre.
James obtained a MEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bath, followed by a PhD in experimental gas turbine fluid dynamics. On graduation he continued as a Post-doctoral Research Associate before being appointed as a Prize Fellow in 2015. Previously he has spent time working for Rolls-Royce plc.
Research
James’s research is in the efficient use and management of gas turbine secondary air systems used for turbine cooling. Areas of interest include:
- Experimental modelling of hot-gas ingestion through turbine rim seals
- Fluid dynamics of rotating flow systems
- Novel shaft sealing technologies
- Interaction of sealing and mainstream flows in turbines
Willing to supervise doctoral students
