- Schlieren flow imaging
- Fluidic devices
Research Projects
- Hypersonic wind tunnel scoping - designing the plant equipment required for new wind tunnels to be built at the OTI.
- Self aligned focus schlieren - design of a new Schlieren flow imaging setup to be implemented in coming hypersonic research endeavours.
- Fluidic oscillator research - following on from my masters project, I am working on a journal paper investigating the fundamental woring mechanisms of a fluidic oscillator.
