Understanding the Coupled Interactions Between Hair-Like Micromechanoreceptors and Wall Turbulence
PI Ebenezer Gnanamanickam
This research focuses on understanding the interactions between turbulent flows and long (high aspect ratio), flexible hair-like microstructures or micropillars inspired by those encountered in nature. Some examples include lateral line sensors in fish, airflow sensors in bats and hair cover of animals such as seals and bats.

Self-Sustained Flow-Acoustic Interactions in Airfoil Transitional Boundary Layers
PI Vladimir Golubev
CO-I Reda Mankbadi
This work carries out collaborative theoretical, experimental and numerical investigations of flow-acoustic resonant interactions in transitional airfoils which are responsible for sudden appearance of prominent acoustic tones and unsteady aerodynamic fluctuations in low-Reynolds-number airfoils.
