Laboratory for Turbulence & Combustion (LTC)

The Laboratory for Turbulence & Combustion (LTC) conducts fundamental research on turbulent flow, mixing, combustion, and microsystems for flow and combustion applications. LTC includes a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, including flow and combustion facilities, lasers, imaging systems, data acquisition systems, and computers. The Laboratory is part of the Department of Aerospace Engineering in the College of Engineering at The University of Michigan.

Under the supervision of Professor Werner J.A. Dahm, research in LTC conducted by graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, research scientists, and faculty encompasses experimental and computational studies of fluid dynamics, turbulent flows, combustion, and the development of advanced microsystems for flow and combustion applications. Our research page gives brief outlines of current and past LTC research projects, and also lists publications that describe this work in more detail. Our facilities page gives a summary of some of the major experimental and computational facilities and equipment available in LTC.

We invite you to look through this site to learn more about our activities and interests. Prospective graduate students interested in pursuing research in LTC should apply for admission to graduate studies in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at The University of Michigan, and clearly identify the Laboratory for Turbulence & Combustion (LTC) as their primary research interest on both their application and their Statement of Purpose. Postdoctoral researchers, research scientists, and visiting faculty interested in LTC should apply via email to wdahm@umich.edu.
