A variety of fundamental and applied research is performed by Turbo Lab faculty, post docs, and students within three thematic areas: Rotordynamics and Mechanical Systems; Thermal Fluids and Combustion; and Computational and Modeling Design. 

This research is sponsored by a combination of government and industry sources, both domestically and internationally,  through traditional grants and contracts and covers the entire range of specialties of the Turbo Lab research groups.

Unique test rigs and extreme environments are among the many reasons why the Turbo Lab continues to be a leader in turbomachinery-related research.  Click any of the research topic buttons to jump directly to the relevant research group.
