Fundamental Hydrodynamics Research

Abstract

The hydrodynamics research conducted under this program falls into two basic 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. (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.
