Past Research in the OEL
Here are just a few of the research projects that members of the Optical Engineering Laboratory have been involved with in the last few years. Papers on the site at this time cover the mechanical / engine / PIV aspects of the groups work, but we hope to also put up some of the biomedical EU funded research here in the next couple of weeks.
Testing The
Internal Combustion Engine
Trevor Wilson and
Dr. Wing Lee were recently working on
optical diagnostics and tomographic arrays for engine diagnostics. Heat
transfer studies of the piston and head are also being implemented.
Papers from this work can be obtained
here.
We have performed many successful research contracts with many industrial partners on an international level. In particular we are currently fulfilling contracts with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, USA), DRA (Defence Research Agency) and Rolls-Royce. We are also part of a major EuroPIV research grant researching along range optical instrumentation.
The value of our research grants over the last 10 years has been more than £2m and we have produced some 150+ publications.
