Now more than ever, it is critical to measure and communicate the impacts that gas turbine research has had on the advancement of gas turbine engines. Industry, academia, and federal agencies have had a long history of research collaboration towards understanding the complex physics that occur in gas turbines with a goal of applying such learning to develop novel designs, new manufacturing capabilities, predictive analyses, and experimental techniques.
Much of the basic research in gas turbines is conducted at universities through support from federal agencies while having strong partnerships with the industry. The partnerships between these organizations have been key in transitioning research advancements into practical application thereby making an impact in the reliability, durability, and operation of gas turbines to benefit the community at large. Therefore, it is important to measure and communicate these impacts to various stakeholders to underscore the importance of continued technological breakthroughs in our gas turbine research community. This panel will present the various indicators and methods of measuring research impacts as well as propose paths for communicating the importance and success of these critical partnerships.
