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 PhD
Interested in supervising students studying;
- Fluid dynamics
- Gas turbine technologies
- Internal air systems and seals
- Thermal imaging techniques
Fingerprint Fingerprint is based on mining the text of the person's scientific documents to create an index of weighted terms, which defines the key subjects of each individual researcher.
