BridgeAI project: deploying physics-enhanced AI for turbomachinery design

ADT (UCL spin-out, makers of TURBOdesign Suite) is forming a consortium for the BridgeAI Deployment Catalyst. We are looking for a medium or large UK organisation to act as the deployer partner. We want to work with companies that design, specify or operate pumps, compressors, fans, turbines or turboexpanders, in sectors such as energy, aerospace, automotive and e-mobility, hydrogen, HVAC and heat pumps, water, and process industries.

The project would deploy our physics-enhanced ML workflow on one of your real design challenges. The workflow combines 3D inverse design, CFD-trained surrogates and multi-objective optimisation. The goal is to move AI-driven design from pilot projects into trusted, routine engineering use, and the expected benefits are shorter development cycles, higher efficiency, and lower energy use and emissions.

We bring a proven AI technology, the turbomachinery expertise, and our experience of leading collaborative R&D projects. You bring the design challenge, the deployment environment and the engineering team that will use the system. We are happy to discuss which strand fits best (Decision Critical, Operational, or Assurance and Compliance) and to shape the use case around your priorities.
