Overview
The Flow Physics and Control Branch conducts fundamental experimental and computational research to enhance the knowledge and understanding of the physics underlying boundary-layer transition, turbulence, vortical and separated flows. This understanding is used in developing advanced methods for the prediction of boundary-layer transition and in developing techniques for controlling viscous fluid flows. In close interactions with CFD code developers, experiments are also designed and detailed flow field and surface data are obtained to validate CFD methods. Advanced wind tunnel and experimental test techniques are applied across the speed range from low subsonic to hypersonic speeds. A major goal of this effort is to transfer validated design tools and benchmark experimental data to NASA researchers and U. S. Industry.
