Research Resource Discovery

Directed by Professor D. J. Bodony. Computational and analytical studies of the generation and propagation of sound in engineering and biological systems. Current research includes noise prediction and control of supersonic turbulent jets, prediction of performance of acoustic liners, acoustic-thermal-structural response of high speed boundary layers, and generation of sound by combustion and its by-products.

Directed by Professor V. L. Coverstone. Computational tools are designed and developed to optimize and visualize spacecraft trajectories. Modeling and simulating interplanetary low-thrust solar-electric and solar sailing missions as well as spacecraft attitude maneuvers are of current interest. The laboratory consists of several workstations and PC's.

Linux workstations used for code development, for pre-processing, and for the post-processing of results of simulations performed on the CSE and NCSA supercomputers.In this lab, computational tools are developed for various issues associated with fracture mechanics, composite manufacturing, fluid/structure interaction, and other research topics in solid mechanics and aeroelasticity.
