Research Interests and Expertise

Primary Research Theme: Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics
Secondary Research Theme: Aeroelasticity, Fluid-Structure Interaction and Flow-Induced Vibrations

  • Aerodynamics of airfoils, wings and aeronautical configurations in subsonic, transonic and supersonic flows.
  • Unsteady aerodynamics of oscillating airfoils and wings in incompressible and compressible flows.
  • Aerodynamics of airfoils and wings at low Reynolds numbers for unmanned and micro-aerial vehicles.
  • Study of aerodynamic problems of unspecified geometry: adaptive and flexible airfoils and wings, jet flaps, compliant surfaces, nozzle design.
  • Development of numerical methods for aerodynamic problems based on finite volume, finite difference and hybrid spectral formulations and Lagrangian methods.
  • Study of aerodynamic interaction problems (ground effect, wing-tail interaction, wind tunnel wall effect).
  • Study of unsteady confined flows with oscillating boundaries and variable inflow velocity.
  • Steady and unsteady fluid-structure interaction and dynamics of structures subjected to unsteady flows.
  • Aeroelastic oscillations of structures (use of piezoelectric actuators and sensors to prevent structural instabilities and to detect cracks in the structure).
  • Atmospheric flight for space missions and aero-gravity assist.

Current Research Projects

  • Analysis of unsteady flows past airfoils and wings at low Reynolds numbers.
  • Study of aerodynamic interactions between wings executing pitching and flexural oscillations.
  • Study of aeroelastic oscillations of damaged aircraft structures in subsonic and supersonic flows for structural health monitoring.
  • Control of aeroelastic oscillations of aircraft structures using piezoelectric sensors and actuators.
  • Analysis of three-dimensional confined flows with variable inflow velocity and oscillating walls.
  • Study of unsteady flows past oscillating lifting systems in the proximity of the ground and in wind tunnels.
