The research objective is to improve the performance of rotary machines in the field of turbomachinery. Our research covers a wide range of applications in turbomachinery:

• Turbomachinery rotordynamics (turbochargers, e-motors, compressors, hybrid machines)

• Bearings and lubrication systems (oil hydrodynamic bearings, aerodynamic bearings, air-foil bearings, rolling bearings)

• Seal systems (gas blow-by, labyrinth seal, flouting piston rings)

• Particle transport in turbomachinery (compressor fouling, particle transport through seal systems)

• Centrifugal compressors and turbines (compressor aerodynamics, shape optimizations)

• Axial compressors and turbines (design, optimizations)

• FSI analyses (self-excitation, stresses etc.)

• General CFD analyses of specific problems in turbomachinery (blowby, casing treatment, central housing fluid flows, heat transfers, lubricant foaming etc.)
