Mission Statement: Turbomachinery and Heat TransferRTT

1
Mission Statement Turbomachinery and Heat
Transfer-RTT Perform experimental and
computational research in compressor and turbine
flow and heat transfer technology directed at
advancing knowledge in gas turbine engine
propulsion. The branch focuses on the Fundamental
Aeronautics Program subsonic fixed wing and
rotary wing aircraft, supersonic and hypersonic
flight projects. Acquire research data from
turbomachinery test facilities to further develop
and validate computational flow codes and design
tool models to enable design and analysis of
compressors and turbines with high aerodynamic
loading and efficiency, improved operability and
reduced turbine cooling requirements. Interface
with other NASA centers, government agencies,
industry and academia. Transfer turbomachinery
technology for commercial and military propulsion
systems.
