I am planning to recruit one more PhD students to explore a range of subjects including applied hypersonics and the influence of turbulence on cross-flow turbine dynamics. Please See “Joining the LAb” for more information.
Lab Overview
Our lab studies turbulence and its resulting impact on vehicle design, environmental processes and energy generation. Such flows have significant complexity due to strong flow curvature, heat-transfer, or compressibility that pushes the boundaries of current modeling and engineering design simulation capabilities. We aim to enhance our understanding of the physics of turbulence, as well its structure and scaling. This work has the potential to greatly enhance our ability to predict vehicular and environmental flows, reducing uncertainties and expanding the design envelope with increased confidence.

Congratulations to Marvin Bok (UG ‘24) and Paul Medina (Masters) for their awards at the recent AA end of year showcases. Marvin took home first prize and the people’s choice award for his work designing a hypersonic Ludweig tube. Paul was awarded second place in the graduate competition for his work developing the FLDI diagnostic for upcoming hypersonic testing. Congratulations to you both!
It has been an exiting and busy year. Congratulations to all four of the recent Masters Graduates from our lab. Looking forward to hearing more about your next steps future successes.
