Research interests
I am a member of the Aerodynamics and Fluid Dynamics Research Group. My research concerns the development of numerical methods for the prediction of unsteady fluid flows. My main areas of interest are flows about wings and aircraft, rotors, incompressible flows including free surface flows and non-aerospace applications, reduced order modelling, continuation and aerodynamic-structural coupling.
Current Areas of Research include:
-Computational Aeroelastics
-Reduced Order Modelling
-Continuation and bifurcation analysis
-Gust simulation and modelling
