Personal profile
Research interests
I am interested in the experimental modelling of gas turbine fluid dynamic phenomena with a view to scale experimental measurements from rig to engine operating conditions. Specific topics of interest include:
- Fluid dynamics and heat transfer in turbine secondary air systems
- Film and internal cooling
- Interaction between main and egress flow paths in high pressure turbines with end-wall contouring
- The use of thermochromic liquid crystals and infrared thermography for flow visualisation and heat transfer measurements
My research is conducted with the following key objectives:
- To further scientific understanding within the gas turbine and wider academic communities through publication
- Assisting engine designers in their goal of improving gas turbine operating efficiency
