Projects

The AFP Research Group conducts fundamental research into the behavior of compressible flows, often in the contexts of aeroacoustics (especially jet noise) and fluid-thermal-structure interactions. These contexts are usually driven by the needs of high speed flight systems. We are grateful to our collaborators and sponsors.
