ASME Turbo Expo ASME Turbo Expo is an annual international conference and exhibition focusing on turbomachinery, gas turbines, compressors, turbines, and related propulsion and power systems. The event brings together engineers, researchers, manufacturers, policymakers, and educators from institutions and corporations worldwide to present technical papers, attend seminars, and exhibit technologies. Participants include representatives from major universities, national laboratories, aerospace companies, energy firms, and standards bodies.
The conference covers topics spanning gas turbine applications, steam turbine design, compressor aerodynamics, turbomachinery heat transfer, combustion systems, aeroelasticity, rotordynamics, additive manufacturing, materials science, controls engineering, propulsion, power generation, and renewable energy integration. Attendees typically include delegates from General Electric, Siemens, Rolls-Royce plc, Pratt & Whitney, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Turbomachinery Laboratory, NASA, DOE, Sandia National Laboratories, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The exhibition hall features companies such as Baker Hughes, Schlumberger, ABB Group, Honeywell, MTU Aero Engines, Safran, IHI Corporation, Doosan, and Wood Group.
Origins trace back to mid-20th century gatherings of engineers from Frank Whittle influenced firms, Sir Frank Whittle era companies, and early manufacturers like Westinghouse Electric Company, Brown Boveri, Alstom, and Siemens Energy. The conference evolved alongside landmark projects including the Bell X-1, Boeing 747, Concorde, Lockheed SR-71, and naval programs involving GE Aviation and Rolls-Royce plc marine turbines. Over decades the meeting intersected with developments at MIT, Stanford University, Imperial College London, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Caltech, Georgia Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Michigan, Purdue University, Iowa State University, Texas A&M University, and University of California, Berkeley. Key attendees have included researchers associated with Ludwig Prandtl, Theodore von Kármán, Sir Frank Whittle, Hans von Ohain, and engineers from Bell Labs and RAND Corporation.
The program organizes sessions into tracks such as aerodynamics, combustion diagnostics, heat transfer, structural dynamics, rotordynamics, fluid mechanics, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, additive manufacturing, and materials for high-temperature alloys like INCONEL. Paper selection involves peer review by committees with members from ASME, AIAA, IEEE, SAE International, ANSYS, CFD Society of Canada, Royal Aeronautical Society, and national academies including the National Academy of Engineering. Tutorials and short courses often feature instructors from MIT, Stanford University, Imperial College London, ETH Zurich, Tsinghua University, Nanyang Technological University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Seoul National University, and Monash University. Plenary lectures have been given by figures from NASA Glenn Research Center, European Space Agency, JAXA, CERN, USAF, and industrial leaders from GE Aviation and Rolls-Royce plc.
The conference and sponsoring society confer awards drawing nominees from National Academy of Engineering, Royal Society, Royal Academy of Engineering, and corporate awardees from GE Aviation, Siemens Energy, Rolls-Royce plc, Pratt & Whitney. Honors include best paper awards, lifetime achievement recognitions, and student paper prizes adjudicated by panels featuring members from ASME International, AIAA, SAE International, IEEE, and prominent research centers such as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Recipients often include academics from University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, ETH Zurich, Caltech, MIT, and industrial innovators from Honeywell and Safran.
Technical papers are published in conference proceedings indexed in databases like Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, and INSPEC. Proceedings are often archived through ASME Digital Collection and cited in journals such as Journal of Turbomachinery, ASME Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, AIAA Journal, Combustion and Flame, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Experiments in Fluids, Journal of Sound and Vibration, and Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing. Authors cite standards from ISO, ASTM International, AGMA, and API in tensile testing, creep evaluations, and fatigue studies. Cross-references appear in theses from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, Tsinghua University, and dissertations archived at ProQuest.
The event catalyzes collaborations between corporations such as GE Aviation, Siemens Energy, Rolls-Royce plc, Pratt & Whitney, Boeing, Airbus, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, and academic institutions including MIT, Stanford University, Imperial College London, University of Cambridge, Carnegie Mellon University, Purdue University, and University of Michigan. Research topics presented influence projects at NASA, DOE, DARPA, European Commission, European Space Agency, and national laboratories including Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory. Technology transfer has led to industrial adoption in sectors tied to power plants, aviation, marine propulsion, and industrial compressors managed by firms like Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Doosan.
