With over 25 years of experience in this area, the R&D activities span from fundamental research to real-life industrial applications:

• Investigations of large- to micro-scale phenomena, combination of experimental and computational approaches with focus to optical and imaging methods and CFD.

• Research and development of liquid fuel nozzles.

• Optimization and control in complex systems: chemical reactors, hydrocyclones for particle separation, energy conversion devices, realistic/application-based spray research, namely gas turbine injectors, waste industry, biomechanics, and atomizers for CO2 capture. Large- to micro-scale phenomena, combination of experimental and computational approaches with focus to optical and imaging methods and CFD.

• Study of cavitation in hydraulic machines (erosion, instabilities, pulsations) both experimentally and using computational modelling.

• Fiber transport and deposition – investigations of the complex behaviour of fibrous particles in airflow. This includes experimental studies using advanced imaging techniques and computational modelling with sophisticated fibre representations.

• High-efficiency filter design – leveraging the obtained knowledge of aerosols and fibre dynamics for the development of novel filter designs for the efficient removal of airborne particles.

• Heat transfer in a multi-phase flow: experimental research in the field of condensation of water vapor in a mixture with air, flue gases or other gases

• Multiphase flow laboratory
  The workplace has 25 year hands-on experience in the field of multiphase flows with focuse to various multiphase flow problems. It runs a laboratory unique to the Czech Republic that is equipped competitively with other top laboratories across Europe.The typical application lies in research and diagnostics of atomizers for energy industry, combustion chambers of gas turbine engines, gas cleaning (desulphurization, CCS), cooling in metallurgic processes, combustion of waste fuels, pharmaceutical industry and air humidification.

• Laboratory of heat exchangers and condensers
  The laboratory’s main activity is the experimental evaluation of heat transfer on heat exchange surfaces during heating/cooling of liquids and gases. We focus primarily on evaluating heat flows of non-standard geometric configurations of heat exchange surfaces (sprinkled exchangers, labyrinth seals, small channels) and on energy applications of heat exchangers with phase change of the working substance (boiling, condensation). The laboratory facilities of specialised laboratories are used for research activities, and thanks to the mobile apparatus, we also carry out measurements "in the field.". More information here.
• Aerosol research laboratory
  The department systematically and at the state-of-the-art level builds up facilities for experimental research into aerosol transport and deposition. It is equipped with up-to-date instrumentation for preparation and experimental research of liquid and solid particles. The research activities conducted currently at the laboratory include elucidation of transport of various type particles as well as assessment of their deposition during inhalation into human airways. The laboratory fundamental component is a test rig for aerosol preparation, its mixing with air and measurement of flow operating parameters. More information here.
  
• Combustion plant test room and laboratory
  The laboratory of experimental combustion is focused on the research of wood and non-wood biomass combustion, or biodegradable waste. We also deal with the development and design of hot air and hot water heat appliances. We test boilers with outputs of 10 to 200 kW. More information here.
  
• Laboratory of numerical simulations
  The laboratory focuses on research, development and testing of numerically solved mathematical models in the field of energy engineering. Within the laboratory, we focus on modelling processes combining fluid flow, thermodynamic and mechanical processes, streamlining computational times, topological optimisations, statistical modelling and artificial intelligence. We perform both evaluations and designs of new systems. The laboratory includes a number of simulation software and computer equipment. More information here.
