Biography
Dr Michael van de Noort is the current Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Aerospace and Turbine Cooling, Flow and Heat Transfer in the Turbine Cooling Group at the Oxford Thermofluids Institute. He completed his DPhil at the OTI in 2023 as part of the CDT in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics, having previously earned his Master’s in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford and a Master of Research degree from the University of Cambridge.
His current research focuses on improving cooling systems in modern aeroengine turbines, specifically through the application of Double-Wall cooling. Michael specialises in the development of low order, rapid solver flow networks which predict airflow distributions through large and complex cooling systems.
Research Interests
- Turbine Cooling with a focus on Double-Wall Systems
- Heat Transfer
- Coolant Migration
- Flow Networks

Research Projects
- Low Order Model Development: Continual works are carried out to support collaboration with Rolls-Royce plc. for the development of inexpensive computational solvers for Mass and Energy flows in Turbine Cooling Systems
- Thermomechanical Stress Investigations: In partnership with researchers at Kings College London, computational studies are underway to optimise the thermomechanical performance of engine components.
- Particle Deposition: Using the OTI’s High Temperature Rig, experimental research is being carried out into the vulnerability of cooling systems to blockage due to the ingestion and deposition of sand, volcanic ash, and other atmospheric particles.
- CFD Work to Support Experimental Facility Rig Design
