The Turbomachinery and Propulsion Department (TU) built its long-lasting experimental tradition on-field, conceiving, developing and operating measurement techniques and devices that could stand the challenging conditions of typical turbomachinery flows.
The portfolio of the TU Department provides a wide range of measurement techniques of interest for the turbomachinery community, from pressure and temperature measurements to heat-transfer and turbulence characterization, with particular attention devoted to the miniaturization of the devices and their applicability to real engine testing.
Within the VKI-Instrumentation Service, the TU Department provides its expertise in the following fields:
