Research Group: Fluids and Heat Transfer
Overview
The Fluids and Heat Transfer Group from the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Trinity College Dublin has been conducting research for many years on modelling and analysis of fluid dynamics, heat transfer and thermodynamics. The research activities of the group cover a wide range of interdependent disciplines ranging from energy system technologies, electronics thermal management, manufacturing processes to fundamental research in thermal energy transport. The current research focuses on the heat transfer and fluid dynamics of large scale to micro scale impinging liquid, air, mist, swirl & synthetic jets, two-phase flow, electrohydrodynamics, thermocapillary convection, nucleate boiling heat transfer and heat pipe technology.
