In the field of hydraulic machinery the research is the implementation of the research in fluid mechanics and research of transients in hydro power plants. Some examples of resaerch in the field of hydraulic machinery are:

• mathematical optimisation of components of hydro power plants
  
• virtual test rig for turbins with high performance computing
• optimisation of power plant operation
• dynamic bhaviour of hydraulic machineries in off-design-operation
• vortex rope simulation
  
• PIV velocity measurement in the draft tube of a model-pumpturbine (vortex rope)
• simmulationen of rotating stall in pumps
• transients in hydro power plants
• water hammer calculation and system-analysis of hydraulic machines
  
• quality assurance for turbine controllers and calculation of the cotroller settings with numerical optimisation
  
• development of strategies for network restauration after blackout
