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

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.

Turbulent flow in a diffuser
Large-eddy simulation of subsonic turbulent diffuser flow, studied with the experiments of Prof. Amitay's group.
Subsonic turbulent flow in a diffuser computed with large-eddy simulation (LES), part of our work with the Center for Flow Physics and Control (CeFPaC) to validate numerical tools against the in-house experiments of Prof. Miki Amitay's group.
