ABOUT

The APSYS lab is located at 001 ground floor of Annex Building in the Aerospace Engineering Department, IIT Kharagpur, India. Research on high speed propulsion, pulse jet ignition, vortex combustion, thermoacoustics, spark ignition, jet deflection, etc is being conducted experimentally and computationally. The group performs flow imaging, flow diagnostics, pressure measurements on scaled down test objects. Members have access to a super-computing facility for running computer codes like Fluent, SU2, OpenFoam etc. The Lab has a dedicated compressed air facility, a direct connect modular flow facility capable of running various aerothermodynamic studies. A team of PhD students, MTech students and Undergrad students work on various projects.



NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

APSYS Labs receives DST funding for turbulent combustion research. The funding will cover equipment procurement for pressure measurements and the purchase of specialty gases used in the tests.

 

General Information

Areas of research include combustion oscillations, vortex driven flows, pulsating flows, method of characteristics, combustion sciences etc.As part of our work in high speed combustors, we are studying flame behavior, ignition, stabilization, flashback and mode transition in high speed combustors both with cavity assisted and strut assisted flame stabilization mechanisms. As part of our work on Combustion Instability prediction and control, we are also looking at vortex driven resonant combustion in Gas Turbine combustors. Active combustion control using secondary injection targeting q' oscillation tailoring are being attempted.

๐Ÿš€ Proud to Showcase Our Work to ISRO Chairman S. Somanath and Dr. V. Narayanan at the Department of Aerospace, IIT Kharagpur! ๐Ÿš€

We had the immense honor of hosting ISRO Chairman S. Somanath, along with Dr. V. Narayanan, Director of the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre, at our Department of Aerospace, IIT Kharagpur. During their visit, we demonstrated the experimental setup of a scramjet engine that I developed from scratch under the invaluable guidance of Dr. Amardip Ghosh.

Their keen interest in our work and their encouraging words have fueled our determination to expand our research in aerospace engineering.

A heartfelt thanks to our Head of Department, Prof. Arnab Roy, for his continuous support and for facilitating such impactful interactions. Special thanks also to Dr. Ghosh for his mentorship and guidance, and to the entire team at APSYS Lab for making the setup ready on time.

We look forward to contributing even more to India's space research!
