The Fluid Structure Interaction research group is actively engaged in conducting research at the Waterpower Laboratory. This group plays a pivotal role in advancing knowledge and fostering innovation through its involvement in a variety of research projects. Comprising experts from diverse disciplines, the group collaborates to address complex problems, develop novel technologies, and generate valuable insights. Their work typically encompasses the design and execution of experiments, the collection and analysis of data, and the dissemination of findings to the broader scientific community. By leveraging their collective expertise and resources, the research group is capable of undertaking ambitious projects that may exceed the capabilities of individual researchers, thereby driving progress and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration.
Over the years, the group has been awarded several research projects, predominantly in collaboration with academic and industrial partners within Norway and Europe. All research initiatives within the group are led by Chirag Trivedi. In addition to the dedicated researchers, students are actively involved in these projects, providing them with opportunities to learn about state-of-the-art technologies and the latest research developments. The majority of the research projects focus on hydraulic turbines, an area in which the group possesses core expertise. Detailed information about the research projects is available on the corresponding websites.
