RISE is structured around three core disciplinary paths:
(i) heat transfer engineering,
(ii) engineering applications of fluid mechanics, and
(iii) engineering thermodynamics.
Our experimental efforts are tightly integrated with computational tools, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), numerical thermodynamic modelling, and component- and system-level simulations of thermal energy systems. Our research interests can be categorized according to scale as follows:

Collaborations
RISE closely collaborates with the Multiphysics, Simulation, Optimisation, and Experimentation (MSOE) group and the Maritime Technology Group at SDU Mechanical Engineering, as well as the Smart Cooling and Heating Group at the SDU Center for Industrial Mechanics and the SDU UAS Center.
We actively pursue partnerships with companies, research institutions, and interdisciplinary teams to address real-world energy and thermal-fluid challenges. RISE is committed to delivering sustainable, high-impact solutions by integrating societal relevance with scientific excellence.
We welcome visiting researchers, joint research activities, and student exchanges, including:
- Research programs for graduate exchange students
- Collaborative industrial research projects
- Short- and long-term academic visits
Laboratory Facilities
Our expanding laboratory is equipped with advanced experimental tools for multiphase flows, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and thermal-fluid system characterization. The laboratory is organized into two dedicated experimental environments: the AeroLab, focusing on experiments conducted in gaseous media, and the HydroLab, dedicated to experiments in liquid and multiphase flow systems.
