Biography

Thomas Irps is a PhD student at the Thermo-Fluid Mechanics Research Centre. His research focuses on the experimental analysis of unsteady boundary layer transition mechanisms specific to highly loaded axial compressor blades. Measurments are acquired through the use of microphones, hotwire and particle image velocimetry. Part of the research examined grid generated boundary layer “overshoots” in turbulence generating flows. He is supervised by Dr Vasudevan Kanjirakkad and funded by the University of Sussex Collaborative Doctoral Scheme.
