University of Wyoming

The Mechanical Engineering Department has several faculty pursuing research in areas that may be of interest to UTSR clients. These include high temperature (ceramic) materials research, GTE cycle modeling, heat transfer in gas turbine blades and combustors, mixing studies in model combustors, active flow control, and CFD applied to complex aerodynamic structures.

Experimental programs are supported by three general-purpose wind tunnels, two special-purpose wind tunnels, one water tunnel, and one tow tank. Instrumentation includes a 2-D LDA, phase-Doppler droplet sizing, 3-D PIV, extensive hot wire anemomtry, diffraction-based droplet sizing, several dedicated video systems for surface temperature measurement and shear stress measurement, and extensive materials testing equipment with high temperature testing capability. Computational studies are supported by a 32 processor micro-cluster within the department.
