EULiST BIP “Blade Design for Turbomachinery” organised by TU Wien

03/03/2026 Date: 16–22 June 2026

TU Wien, in cooperation with Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Brno University of Technology, University of Belgrade and Budapest University of Technology and Economics, is organising a Blended Intensive Program (BIP) entitled “Blade Design for Turbomachinery”. The programme includes online sessions in April, May and June 2026, followed by in-person activities from June 16 to June 22, 2026, in Vienna, Austria.

Type of participants / Target group:
Students at Master level (2^nd cycle) in Engineering (ISCED: 0710)

Objectives and description:

The aim of this course is that the successful student can design and optimize a turbomachinery blade for a given application.

The course is divided into three components: initial blade design based on empirical models, blade optimisation using fluid dynamic simulations, and experimental validation. Therefore, the course covers various blade shape design strategies, including their implications for turbomachinery performance. The initial blade shape is then optimised using numerical flow simulations, where a parametric optimisation is likely performed by the students. The best-performing blade shape is the materialised using a 3D printer and tested in a wind tunnel. Thereby, the course provides the students with holistic and practical skills in turbomachinery design.

While the described component is performed in-person by the students in small groups, the theory and the summarising protocol are established in the virtual components of this course..

Number of ECTS: 4

Language of instruction: English

Application, deadline and nomination procedure:
Interested students should contact their university’s Erasmus office and EULiST local coordinator for more institution-specific information such as different application deadlines due to internal procedures. The selections will be carried out by the students’ home institutions.

Why you should join:

Join this Masterclass and learn new methods to position your research work within broader trends.

Megatrend mapping and systems thinking are powerful tools that enable scientists to anticipate changes, spot emerging opportunities, and navigate the complex interconnections that shape their fields. These methods help researchers position their work within broader trends, giving them an edge in adapting to future challenges. In this interactive workshop, we will explore how understanding megatrends and thinking in systems can open up new possibilities in your specific area of research. You will learn to map the wider context of your field, uncover key influences and connections, and identify strategic opportunities to drive positive change through your work —rather than simply assuming there is one path-dependent future that will unfold regardless.
