Gas turbine aerodynamics and combustion research

The Gas Turbine Laboratory of the NRC Institute for Aerospace Research (NRC Aerospace) undertakes a comprehensive range of research, development, test, evaluation and simulation to support the Canadian aerospace and industrial technology base. It provides extensive test and evaluation services to industry and engages in collaborative research programs with the private sector, universities and other government departments. Its research skills and state-of-the-art facilities are dedicated to improving knowledge about combustion processes, liquid spray systems and emissions.

Within the Laboratory, specialists are available in the following areas:

  • internal aerodynamics – turbomachinery fluid dynamics
  • gas turbine combustor testing
  • liquid spray systems
  • fuel-air mixing, and
  • numerical simulation of three-dimensional turbulent reacting flows.

NRC Aerospace designs experiments from beginning to end, always with the client's needs in mind. We design and build models to the most critical tolerances. We also provide fast and accurate computational solutions for analysis and design problems.
