Infrastructure Investment Proposal for the University of Oxford Osney Thermo-fluids Laboratory (OSNEY Upgrade)

奥斯尼热流体实验室是叶轮机械研究的全球卓越中心，在过去30年中为喷气发动机技术做出了重大贡献。该实验室是罗尔斯-罗伊斯大学技术中心网络的一部分，专门从事传热学和空气动力学(成立于1990年)。实验室工业研究的主要贡献者是劳斯莱斯(RR)、GKN航空航天、工业燃气轮机制造商(西门子(英国)和三菱重工)、国防部和QinetiQ。方案的资金来自PV、欧盟框架方案、EPSRC、TSB/Innovate UK和MOD。传热学和空气动力学研究也在其他领域进行，如高超声速和内燃机。该实验室主办了EPSRC燃气轮机空气动力学博士培训中心，该中心将培养2014-19年在牛津大学、剑桥和拉夫堡招收的85名博士生。这笔ATI赠款将用于实现大型民用发动机高压(HP)涡轮级运行所必需的冷却性能和热级技术的测量和研究能力的阶段性变化。这项投资将加强现有的牛津涡轮研究设施(OTRF)，以在精确控制的条件下测量涡轮叶片和叶片的金属温度；提高用于研究高压喷嘴导向叶片的发动机部件气动热设施的精度，并显著提高我们的仪器实验室和制造能力。

The Osney Thermofluids Laboratory is a global centre of excellence for turbomachinery research which has made significant contributions to the technology of jet engines over the last 3 decades. The Laboratory is part of the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre network and specialised in Heat Transfer and Aerodynamics (founded 1990). Major contributors to the Laboratory’s industrial research are Rolls-Royce (RR), GKN Aerospace, industrial gas turbine manufacturers (Siemens (UK), and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries), the MoD and QinetiQ. Programmes are funded through PV, EU Framework programmes, EPSRC, TSB/Innovate UK and MoD. Heat transfer and aerodynamics research is also carried out in other areas such as hypersonics and internal combustions engines. The Lab hosts the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics which will educate 85 doctoral students recruited in the period 2014-19 at Oxford University, Cambridge and Loughborough. This ATI grant will be used to achieve a step change in capability to measure and research the cooling performance and hot stage technologies essential for the operation of high pressure (HP) turbine stages of Large Civil Engines. The investment will enhance the existing Oxford Turbine Research Facility (OTRF) to measure metal temperature of turbine blades and vanes under accurately controlled conditions; improve the accuracy of the Engine Component Aerothermal Facility used to research HP nozzle guide vanes and dramatically improve our instrumentation laboratory and manufacture capability.
