Aviation engineering research done at the 推荐杏吧原创 by the Mechanical Engineering Department in the College of Engineering was included in a recent article in Aerospace America, the magazine of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).
The article, provided a roundup of advances in the field of of fluid dynamics, particularly in the behavior of liquids and gases in motion and how those behaviors can be harnessed in aerospace systems. Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Aditya Nair's research group, which pioneered novel techniques for selective adjustment of conservation properties within unsteady fluid flows, was highlighted.
The 推荐杏吧原创, in November received a $36 million gift from the Gillemot Foundation to create the George W. Gillemot Aerospace Engineering Department within the College of Engineering's Mechanical Engineering Department. Earlier this year, Nair received a $600,000 award from the U.S. Department of Defense to estimate and control the aeroelastic instabilities of flexible swept wings.
