Specialities:
- Computational and experimental study of gas turbine aerodynamics and combustion system aerothermal processes
Qualifications:
- MRes, Future Propulsion and Power, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
- MEng (hons), Aeronautical Engineering, Loughborough University, United Kingdom
- PhD, ‘Gas Turbine Combustor Aerodynamics’, Loughborough University, (ongoing)
Research Group:
- Applied Aerodynamics
Research Interests:
- Combustion System Aerodynamics
- Compressor-Combustor Interactions
- Experimental Fluid Mechanics
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
Current Research:
- Computational and experimental study of the internal flows within modern gas turbines. Primarily focused on feeding multipoint lean direct injection (LDI) combustion systems with a highly uniform airflow whilst minimising pressure losses. This encompasses the compressor/combustor interface, pre-diffuser design, and combustor external aerodynamics.
