UTSR Project Publications

Beyond the Success Stories directly contributing to the advancement of land-based gas turbine technology, the UTSR professors contributed to an increase in basic science via publications in other journals and conferences. As can be quickly observed, the 400 plus contributions to the basic open literature is extremely extensive. This information is directly transferable to other important areas beyond land-based gas turbines.

Listed below are all of the reported publications for all UTSR Projects since the program began. They are listed in subcontract number order.
