The Notre Dame Turbomachinery Laboratory has entered into a 19 month, $2.5 million agreement with Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd. (DHI) to conduct compressor research and testing to support the development of a 300-megawatt class power generation gas turbine. Testing will occur at NDTL's 10MW compressor test cell, which is currently under construction with the goal of becoming fully operational this fall. Once the test cell is completed, NDTL will be home to compressor research facilities at any university in the world. The compressor test will study aerodynamic phenomena that even the most powerful computers cannot simulate. All design, analysis, fabrication and assembly will take place at NDTL's facility located at Ignition Park in South Bend, Ind.
