Drag Reduction Strategies
Dr Zahra Soltani – Research Associate Project “I started working at Imperial College London as a research associate in March 2019, under the supervision of Dr Matthew Santer. During my PhD at ETH, Switzerland, I developed a nonlinear FE code for the study of composite morphing wings. My background mainly focuses on developing efficient nonlinear Finite Element (FE) codes and machine-learning-based… read more
Bio-inspired micro-scale surface structures for reducing shockwave-induced flow separation.
Bio-inspired micro-scale surface structures have been successfully employed to suppress shockwave-induced flow separation for the first time as demonstrated in a wind tunnel experiment undertaken at The University of Manchester. These surface structures were applied behind the leading edge of a double ramp model placed in a Mach… read more
