The Department of Turbine Dynamics and Diagnostics conducts research and development activities in the following areas:
- Modelling and analysis of dynamic phenomena in rotor-bearing systems
- Design and optimisation of innovative rotating machines (e.g. microturbines)
- Diagnostic testing of power machines
- Development of innovative bearing systems
- Modelling and testing of gas foil bearings
- Additive manufacturing for the design and construction of machinery
- Design and testing of combined heat and power systems (e.g. ORC systems)
