As part of our scientific work, the ITS is regularly attends at major international conferences to present new research findings. In addition to presenting our own results, the main focus is on exchanging ideas with and receiving feedback from scientists from research institutions around the world. We would like to share our insights into these conference visits, as well as general news, awards and other exciting events with you here.
Registration for the four-day excursion during Pentecost week has been open since April 20. You can look forward to a varied and interesting program!
We welcome the newly appointed Institute Director Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marco Lorenz to the institute!

From October 20 to 22, 2025, the international conference PARTICLES 2025 took place in Barcelona. The event brought together scientists and industry representatives from various fields to discuss current developments in the field of particle-based simulation methods. One of these methods is the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, which is used extensively at ITS for the numerical investigation of complex multiphase flows such as fuel atomization.

From September 4 to 6, 2025, the annual conference of the Global Power and Propulsion Society (GPPS) took place in Shanghai, China. This year, the ITS was represented by Riko Haase, who presented a paper on the numerical investigation of the aerodynamics of an impingement effusion cooling geometry.
MoreWelcome to the Institute of Thermal Turbomachinery
We, the Institute of Thermal Turbomachinery (ITS), conduct research into highly topical and innovative issues in the field of aircraft engines and gas turbines as well as hydraulic turbomachinery. In cooperation with leading engine and gas turbine manufacturers, our work focuses on increasing efficiency, environmental friendliness and safety. By collaborating with a wide range of industry and research partners, we create a link between university teaching and industrial application. As a graduate student or student trainee, you will gain experience in both applied and fundamental research with a focus on experimental/measurement and numerical topics. We lay the foundations for this through exciting lectures, practical courses and excursions, in which we provide you with insights into application areas of classical mechanical engineering under extreme environmental and boundary conditions.
Research
Components of the combustion chamber, the turbine and the secondary air system of turbomachinery are examined in more detail.
