At Cornell University, the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering has a number of active programs and modern facilities devoted to energy-related research. Current areas of research include:

• Aerodynamics, including transonic flow, aeroacoustics, boundary-layer phenomena, and vehicle aerodynamics
• Computation fluid dynamics and aerodynamics; stability and wave propagation
• Turbulence, including fundamental aspects, modeling, experimental measurements, and meteorological and geophysical flows
• Combustion, energy and propulsion systems (including turbulent combustion), chemical kinetics, advanced instrumentation, pollutant generation, alternative fuels, engine and combustor performance and control, and fluidized-bed combustion and hydrodynamics
• Heat transfer, including computationl heat transfer, free, forced, and mixed convection, droplet evaporation, heat exchangers, geophysical heat transfer, and fluidized-bed heat transfer
• Mechanical design, including analystical and computational methods, computer-aided design, optimization, reliability, composites, lubrication, rotor and vehicle dynamics, systems dynamics, and vibrations and control systems
• Manufacturing, including computer-aided manufacturing, computer and numerical control of machine processes, injection modling, materials forming, robotics, and friction, upset, and ultrasonic welding
• Biomechanical engineering, including structural analysis, lubrication of joints, dynamics of the musculo-skeletal system, and computer-aided design of implants

Work in heat transfer is facilitated by equipment for studies os single-phase and two phase convection in thermosiphons and in porous media; high-flux boiling; free convection; bubble growth in superheated droplets; and leidenfrost boiling.
