A variety of turbomachines from large steam
turbines for nuclear plants to small automotive turbochargers
are being researched and developed in Turbomachinery Laboratory.
In order to improve the performance and reliability of these
turbomachines, flow control techniques and loss mechanism are
being studied using numerical simulation of actual internal
flow and experimental techniques including cascade testing and
flow measurement of high speed rotating wheels.
Application technologies of cryogenic fluids such as liquid
hydrogen and liquid helium are being developed.
