Experimental Subsonic Aerodynamics

Wind tunnel facilities are used to examine overall and detailed flowfields on wings, aircraft and non-aeronautical shapes including automobiles, ships, high speed trains, buildings and structures. Past research topics have ranged from studies of wing-tip and leading edge vortex aerodynamics to low Reynolds number wing aerodynamics.

Experimental Fluid Dynamics

Wind and water tunnels and other special purpose facilities are used to study internal flow fields through engine inlets and nozzles, within the core of a solid rocket engine and in vehicle interiors.

Wind Engineering

Wind tunnel studies to examine the effects of winds around non-aeronautical shapes such as buildings, structures, signs, outdoor lighting, etc.
