Teaching

Designed and implemented “Applied Aerodynamics” senior elective
- Hands-on lab component
- Involves experiments and computational validations
- Utilizes subsonic and supersonic wind tunnel
- students learn to setup and perform Schlieren imaging
- helped enhance the new Aerospace minor in the department
Enhanced Thermo-Fluids course with project based learning
- Experimental project utilizing subsonic wind tunnel
- Project incorpoarates validation with computational fluid dynamics
Courses enhanced with experiential learning with portable fluid demonstrations
- Taylor-Couette flow experiment to show continuous fluid deformation and no-slip boundary condition
- Use of Rheoscopic fluid to demonstrate turbuelence and its length scales
- Built multi-tube manometer for use with subsonic wind tunnel to provide visual representation of pressure distribution
- Designed and built smoke visualtion rake to create streaklines
- Built hele-Shaw apparatus for tabletop flow visualization
