Flow control

Numerical flow control validated with experiments at RPI, aiming at hypersonic flows where experiments last only milliseconds.

  • LES
  • Validated with experiments
  • Towards hypersonic control

Overview

Our team works with the Center for Flow Physics and Control (CeFPaC) on flow control using numerical approaches. The aim is to validate our numerical tools against the in-house experiments of Prof. Miki Amitay’s group, and to predict the flow field where experiments are expensive to carry out.

The ultimate aim is to apply this technology to hypersonic flows, where experiments last only a very short time.
