Profile of the Institute of Turbomachinery and Fluid Dynamics

The Institute for Turbomachinery and Fluid Dynamics (TFD) combines a wide range of expertise in research, development, and application. The diversity of our fields of work—from theoretical modeling and numerical simulation to experimental investigations—shapes the institute's profile and enables holistic solutions for complex fluid mechanics issues.

 

Research

Our work covers the entire development chain for fluid flow machines: from design and simulation to experimental validation on specially developed test benches. The close integration of theory and practice results in precise models and reliable measurement data that contribute to the optimization of efficiency, operating behavior, and performance.

 

Infrastructure

The TFD has comprehensive technical equipment that enables research and development at the highest level. This includes a modern workshop, a wide range of measurement concepts, and specialized measurement technology for recording complex flow processes. This infrastructure is complemented by our consulting expertise, which we use to support industrial and research partners in solving technical challenges.
