Unsteady Flow Physics Of Dynamic Stall

In aerospace applications, high-speed cameras facilitate the detailed analysis of projectile flights, missile launches, combustion processes, engine performance, fuselage durability, material strength, flow/particle movement, and more.  They do so by providing engineers with super slow-motion video of high-speed events.

Dr. Phillip Ansell is an Assistant Professor and Allen Ormsbee Faculty Fellow in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  He is currently the director of subsonic facilities at the Aerodynamics Research Laboratory, where his research group studies complex, unsteady flow interactions about aerodynamic geometries as well as novel aerodynamic solutions for flight vehicle technology.
