Introduction
Thermosciences deals primarily with the engineering sciences associated with
advanced energy conversion systems. The course work and research cover a broad
spectrum of experimental and theoretical studies, including heat transfer,
fluid mechanics, applied thermodynamics, Plasmadynamics, combustion, and the
physics of gases.
Within the Division there are two major research subdivision groups, the
High Temperature Gasdynamics Laboratory (HTGL)
and the Heat Transfer and Turbulence Mechanics group
(HTTM). The Division also hosts the Stanford-NASA Center for
Turbulence Research. Additional material on these groups is included in this
booklet.
