The department is involved in different projects in the fields of smart use of energy and its storage, cogeneration micro-turbines and fuel cells. The department performs both numerical (with commercial software) and experimental projects to study innovative concepts allowing for the economisation of fossil energy. Micro-Energy Storage in Buildings With the growing use of intermittent…
The department is active in the following topics: Hypersonic Vehicles Design As the air traffic rate is considerably increasing since a few years now, especially for very long distance flights, drastic reduction in travel times for commercial long range transport would be very attractive. However, this objective is achievable only thanks to a new flight…
The department is active on fuel cell research, trough different projects as …

This course discusses the basic thermodynamic and fluid mechanic principles related to turbomachinery including, but not limited to, turbopumps, turbocompressors and turbines. The theory is given ex cathedra and supported by exercise sessions and experiments. Course notes Besides your own notes, you may download the syllabus . Please check this site regularly for updates. Part A –…
The numerical simulation activities focus on three topics: reacting flows, Turbulence in incompressible flows and Fluid-Structure interaction. The reacting flow activity concentrates on modelling hydrogencombustion and plasma flows (re-entry flights and plasma torches). The group has developed thermodynamics and transport models to be used with classical computational fluid dynamics. The research axis is also oriented…
In the frame of European projects (ESA GSTP 3), the department took part in the design and the testing of Air-Hydrogen heat exchangers with high efficiencies and low pressure drops to be used for In- Flight LOX collection in advanced space launchers. In this context, the department has developed a fully instrumented test bench for…
The ATM laboratory is actively involved in the research and development of small unmanned aircraft, directly by the design and development of a novel ducted rotorcraft, and indirectly by student projects allowing the conceptual evaluation and implementation of new technologies in airborne platforms using various software tools.
