Continuing scientific research in the field of hydraulic turbines, begun by academician G.F. Proskura, at the department in scientific groups, research is carried out, masters and graduate students are being trained in the following areas:
• development of flow paths of hydraulic turbines for hydropower with high energy-cavitation performance;
• mathematical modeling and optimization of the working process of hydraulic turbines;
• mathematical modeling and research of turbulent flow in inter-blade channels of high-pressure hydraulic turbines;
• mathematical modeling and study of non-stationary flow in hydraulic turbines;
• mathematical modeling, dynamics and optimization of hydraulic systems;
• research of systems of hydropneumatic automation.
At the Department of Hydromachines, a fundamental scientific topic is being developed “Development of the theoretical foundations for the synthesis of hydraulic machines, including hydroturbines and other technological objects of automation” and several contractual topics are being conducted.
Over the years, the department has carried out more than 200 research projects with a large technical and economic effect in industry. The developments of the department have been introduced at the enterprises of Ukraine, Russia, in European countries, in Latin America, in India and other countries.
