Welcome to Turbulence and Research in Aerospace Climate and Energy Lab

We investigate various interactions of fluid flows with natural and human-made systems such as aerospace, energy efficiency and climate change. One of our goals is to develop new instruments to create and sense, with very high spatial-temporal resolution, high Reynolds number turbulent flows, such as vehicle boundary layers and three-dimensional urban flows. We employ them in both wind tunnel experiments and field observations to investigate novel problems with vision of quiet and energy-efficient flight.
