Thermal and fluid Engineering (TFE)

Research in theoretical, numerical and experimental fluid dynamics, granular materials and thermal engineering, driven by applications in fields such as mechanical engineering, maritime engineering, aerospace engineering and process technology. Research themes are aero-acoustics, fluid mechanics of rotating flow machinery, multi-phase flows, transport phenomena, sustainable fuels, turbulent combustion and heat transfer.


Examples of theses
  • Combustion of Biofuels: Waste combustion in grate furnaces, biomass co-firing in coal fired power plants and combustion of bio-oil in gas turbines and engines.
  • Production of sustainable fuels (solid, liquid, gas): Sustainable fuels are produced via the following processes: Flash pyrolysis, Gasification, Torrefaction and Drying.
