This series of talks will form part of Imperial Fringe: Walking in the Air, a festive evening celebrating the science of the air around us
Register here for more information on this latest Imperial Fringe, including an exclusive full line up of exhibitors and their stands so you can plan your evening in advance.
About these talks
Aircraft pollution is a global policy and health problem. Current growth in air travel is unsustanaible as we fight to reduce the impact of human activities on our climate.
So how can innovation and new technologies continue to keep us in the air whilst limiting damage to our planet? One approach might be improving the efficient use of fuel by aircraft, though this requires us to understand better how air moves through their jet engines when in flight.
By peering into the eye of microscale storms of swirling air created inside modern jet engines researchers like Dr Peter Vincent are hoping to improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise pollution associated with air travel. With stunning images produced by one of the world’s largest super-computers, join Peter at Imperial Fringe inside our 320 degree immersive global data observatory to explore brand new research that has the potential to accelerate new discoveries in sustainable aviation and ultimately lead to the next generation of quieter, greener aircraft.
Peter’s short talks will be repeated three times throughout the Fringe evening. Admission will be organized on a first come first serve basis via sign up sheets in the Main Entrance where the main Fringe event will be taking place . Please arrive back at the point you signed up for a talk at least 5 minutes before your slot to give us time to get over to the Data Science Institute and start on time.
