von Karman Institute Lecture Series and Events

by Sudhir L. Gai
School of Engineering & Information Technology
University of New South Wales, Canberra, Australia.

For more than 25 years, the Hypersonics Group at UNSW Canberra, has been studying flow separation and its consequences. The efforts are  
mainly directed at moderate to high enthalpy flows, typically 3 MJ/kg to 20 MJ/kg, and low to moderate densities. Typical configurations that have been investigated include: flow over a  rearward facing step; compression corner; base flows; and leading  edge separation. These studies have involved numerical, experimental(using our unique free-piston driven shock tunnels), and analytical approaches.

S.L. Gai will first discuss the leading edge separation investigation studied by the Hypersonics Group, and then talk briefly on other configurations that they have done.
