At the FASTER lab, we are investigating the properties of sustainable aviation fuels through practical experiments and advanced computer modeling to address the challenges of modern propulsion systems. Additionally, we are developing new facilities to enhance our understanding of the internal and external aerodynamics of next-generation aerospace systems.
Facility Development and Upgrades
Advanced Modeling and Simulation
We are utilizing CFD and imaging techniques to gain a deeper understanding of the facilities.
This project explores the development and application of diaphragmless shock tubes for interdisciplinary research.
This project uses dual-camera high-speed imaging to study ignition behavior in shock tubes, focusing on ethanol, methanol, and n-hexane.
This project investigates the shock velocity profiles in double-diaphragm shock tubes.
Our work looks at novel applications of shock tubes for material synthesis/modification and biomedical applications like drug delivery.
