The scope of the conference covers from a
scientific and engineering perspective, the fluid dynamics
and thermodynamics involved in improving the performance,
stability and sustainability characteristics in the design,
development and operation of axial, mixed flow and radial
turbomachines:
- Aero-jet engines
- Aviation and industrial gas turbines
- Steam turbines
- Compressors and fans
- Hydraulic turbines and pumps
- Non conventional turbines (wind, Wells, Arrhenius, ….)
Particular emphasis will be given to the
following areas:
- Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic Flows
- Turbulent and transitional flows
- Two phase and wet steam flows
- Particle paths, deposition and erosion effects
- Real working fluid flows
- Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Cooling and Leakage
- Heat transfer and turbine cooling
- Turbine internal and external (film) cooling flows and
losses
- The effects of rotation, unsteadiness and temperature
non uniformities
- Leakage and sealing flows
- Unsteady Flows and Interactions
- Surge, stall and transients
- Rotor-stator interactions and multi-row effects
- Vibration, forced response, flutter and aero-elasticity
- Separation and cavitation
- Aero-acoustics, noise generation and reduction
- Turbomachinery Design, Performance and Operation
- Design, analysis and optimisation
- Performance predictions
- Active and passive flow control, including MEMS
- Testing, measurement techniques and experimental
validation
- Operational experience and performance monitoring
- Diagnostics, deterioration and residual performance/life
prediction
This international conference is
organized on a bi-annual basis by the national engineering
association of the country in which the conference takes
place.
