XXI Biennial Symposium on Measuring Tehchiques in Turbomachinery

The XXI edition of the biennial symposium on Measuring Techniques in Turbomachinery has been hold for the first time in Spain. The research institute CMT-Motores Termicos which belongs to Universitat Politecnica de Valencia has had the honor to host such a traditional symposium which first took place in 1970 in the von Karman Institute. Although originally this symposium mainly focused on Transonic and Supersonic Flows in Trubomachinery, it expanded over the years into a meeting where researchers discuss the most up-to-date aerodynamic and heat transfer measurement techniques in turbomachinery from low speed to supersonic regimes, using intrusive as well as optical techniques, including micro-sensors, and designing innovative experimental facilities. In XXI edition, the scope has been opened to combustion topics and turbochargers, linking closer the original symposium concept with the gas turbine engines and introducing the turbocharged reciprocating engines from which turbomachinery components are essential.
