Detailed Description
The state of the art in aerodynamics research in areas such as aeroelasticity, propulsion, turbomachinery, hypersonics, and/or drone capabilities will be explored. Integral to thorough knowledge in these areas is the familiarity of operation and capabilities of facilities and instrumentation such as wind tunnels, pitot-static probe, hot-wire, optical instruments, PIV, and/or load cells. Further, the ability to understand the measurements of these devices and how to process and interpret their data is necessary for characterizing discovery.
