Professor Dr. Daniel Nosenchuck

Biography

Professor Nosenchuck’s work revolves around controlling complex fluid flows. He is currently engaged in areas of research that include the experimental study and active control of turbulent boundary layers, the development of a new three-dimensional dynamic flow visualization technique using laser-sheet scanning, and the design and construction of very high-speed computers for use in complex flow simulations and control applications. He has developed a new technique to introduce controlled electromagnetic body forces in weakly conducting fluids, such as seawater, to improve hypersonic boundary layers and manage aero-thermal heating, which significantly reduces turbulent effects. His principal research interests focus on drag reduction and flow control using both active and passive means, as well as the application of electromagnetic body forces and supercomputer architecture for rapid design and manufacture.
