The Center for Flow Physics and Control is adding a Turbomachinery and Propulsion Laboratory (TPL). The new facility, which is designed to simulate the operating conditions of a gas turbine engine, will be under the direction of Scott C. Morris, assistant professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering. Gas turbine engines power advanced commercial and military aircraft. The facility will study the fluid flow through the rotating blade rows of the compressor. Ph.D. candidate Joshua Cameron is working with engineers from Pratt & Whitney to complete the mechanical design and construction of the facility, and they anticipate that the TPL will be fully operational in early 2005.
