Research title: Optimisation of rocket engine propellant feed systems components
Research Summary
Turbomachinery is required by high-thrust rocket engines to deliver the required propellant mass flow rates. Utilising additive manufacturing (AM) to produce these components allows for complex geometry to be created but also introduces new challenges. This PhD will model the losses associated with AM components and conduct trade-off analyses relating to performance and production lead time.
