The Propulsion and Combustion Engineering Laboratory consists of Professor James F. Driscoll and his graduate students in the department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. Research in the group focuses on employing advanced diagnostics to study both the fundamentals of turbulent combustion and its application to propulsion systems. Particle image velocimetry (PIV), planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF), laser velocimetry, schlieren, and shadowgraph techniques are some of the more common diagnostic tools used in the lab for flow visualization. For more information on our current work, please see the Projects and Facilities pages.
