The Aim of the Course

Turbomachinery is essential to run the world we live in today and is part of our race to decarbonise the propulsion and power sectors of the future. Understanding thermofluids in the design of jet engines, industrial gas turbines, steam turbines, turbochargers, pumps, compressors, fans and many other less conventional types of rotating machinery is key.

The intensive 5-day residential course ran in July 2024 with industrial and academic engineers from across the globe. Now you can purchase a copy of the 750-page course materials beautifully bound across two volumes. This is the perfect reference material for any research lab or design office. It teaches the fundamental principles of the subject at a higher level than that covered in most undergraduate courses, whilst maintaining more generality than is usually available from courses and conferences on research topics.
