  • Title of project: EXAMINATION OF THE DYNAMICS OF LARGE SCALE STRUCTURES IN TURBULENT SHEAR LAYERS AND THEIR CONTROL
  • Funding agency (Optional):
  • Description: Examination of turbulent shear layer flow to understand how the dynamics of large scale structures can generate detrimental characteristics like noise and drag. Experimental studies augmented with the development of reduced order modeling of the turbulent flows. Applications can include free shear layers such as jets and cavities of bounded shear layers such as high Re turbulent boundary layers. Experimental efforts will involve particle based optical diagnostic techniques and analysis involves stochastic and probalistic techniques such as Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Stochastic Estimation among others.
