- The basic methodology for simulating the dynamic interaction between the three physical domains of a foil-air bearing rotor system was first established at Manchester (EPSRC EP/I029184/1) and is being adopted by a growing number of researchers around the world. This paper provided experimental validation to that simulation and strengthened the link with Dyson in this field by establishing a collaborative PhD with £40k input from Dyson [contact: Technology Scout, Dyson]. Cummins Turbo Technologies Ltd [contact: Senior Tribologist] has since invited the University to collaborate on foil-air bearing technology to automotive fuel-cell compressors and a KTP bid has just been submitted.
