University of Dayton Research Institute

The University of Dayton Research Institute is the research arm of the University of Dayton, located in Dayton, Ohio. UDRI is a national leader in scientific and engineering research, serving government, industry, and not-for-profit customers. Our full-time professional staff of engineers and scientists conduct research and provide support in a wide variety of technical areas.

Toyota Culture
Business author and motivational speaker Michael Hoseus will discuss “Toyota Culture” in a workshop in Kettering.

Annual Award Winners
UDRI has announced the annual award winners.

Research Report Wins Gold
UD’s new research magazine won a gold medal in the CASE V competition.

Self-Healing Wire
A new self-healing coating developed by a UDRI researcher could help extend the life of aging aircraft wiring.


	UDRI was the first to model the experimental tool known as the well-stirred reactor in three dimensions with detailed chemistry.

Modeling Complex Flows

As a nationally recognized leader in the field of combustion experimentation, diagnostics, and simulation, UDRI has the capability of modeling and simulating complex physical reacting flows. We study the combustion phenomena inside reactors and gas turbine engines where experimental techniques are not applicable, providing valuable information to experimentalists; develop design theories for improvement of gas turbine engines and reactors; and test chemical kinetics mechanisms against experimental measurements.
