This year, some of my students and collaborators are going to the AIAA SciTech conference in the DC area in the National Harbor, MD. We are presenting two particular papers. The first involves hypersonic flow-fields and the second involves acoustics and aerodynamic experiments. The citations, papers, and presentations are:
It’s the start of a new semester, and I’m excited to welcome a new group of students to the Theoretical Fluid Dynamics and Turbulence Group. This semester, we have a diverse group of students working on a range of interesting projects. Christian King, who joined us in May 2021 as a Ph.D. student, is studying …
This year my research group had a good showing at the Acoustical Society of America, Dec. 2022. I was happy to give a 20 minute talk myself on jet and rocket coherence and loading. My student, Dr. Alex Carr, who is now a Research Aerospace Engineering at NASA reported on his sonic boom predictions. My …
