Miriam
Undergraduate Student
Reduce in scale the design of an existing wind turbine blade and perform experiments in a wind tunnel to determine the relationship between geometry, lift, and drag, at various speeds and angles of attack.

Adebowale
Undergraduate Student
Experiments to examine turbulent flow around high aspect ratio cylinders (where the length of the structure is much larger than its diameter), in salt water using a high speed camera and laser. |
My research in fluid mechanics involves the understanical structures are used.
