Graham Pullan is a Professor specializing in Computational Aerothermal Design in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on aerodynamic design of turbomachinery and associated computational methods. He has developed the Turbostream computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, which is optimized for modern many-core processors, significantly improving the speed and efficiency of CFD calculations. This software has enabled detailed analysis and design of turbomachinery components, such as turbine blades and compressors, enhancing aerodynamic performance and reducing environmental impact in applications like jet engines and power stations. Pullan’s research also involves collaborative projects, including interactions with MIT's Gas Turbine Lab, where he works to identify the origins of rotating stall structures in compressors. His expertise lies in using CFD and rig testing to innovate and solve complex aerodynamic challenges constrained by mechanical design considerations.
