Research Research is focused on both fundamental and applied aspects of non-reacting and reacting shear flow control. Fundamental studies include the examination of turbulent free shear flows experiencing density variations, curvature, compressibility effects and most recently the heat release due to combustion. Particular attention has been paid to the underlying local and global stability characteristics of the flow and the extent to which this behavior impacts flow control. Applied research has examined free shear flow control for fluidic thrust vectoring of supersonic jets and flame speed control for low-NOx combustion and variable turndown. Prof. Strykowski is a Morse Alumni professor and is the recipient of George Taylor-IT Alumni Association Distinguished Teaching Award, SAE Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award and George Taylor Career Development Award. Laboratory |
