MAE research explores how surface geometry influences vortex flows
Vortices are a fundamental feature of fluid motion and appear across a wide range of natural and engineered systems. They influence how fluids mix, how heat and momentum are transported, and how aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces are generated.
A long-standing question in fluid mechanics . . .
