Fundamental Hydrodynamics Research
Abstract
Under the sponsorship of The Office of Naval Research (Code 12) AHR Program, The Applied Research Laboratory of Penn State University performs basic research in hydrodynamics and hydrodynamic noise. The hydrodynamics research conducted under this program falls into two basic thrust areas: 1) Turbomachinery - To develop an improved understanding of the fluid mechanics and acoustics associated with low-speed turbomachines and marine propulsors. To employ this knowledge to the development of improved propulsor and turbomachine design methods: and 2) Drag Reduction - To develop fundamental understanding of the mechanisms that cause drag on bodies and surfaces and to explore novel methods to reduce drag.
