Modelling Vortices - Short-wave Instability


Joine So, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering.

This project investigates the instabilities of common types of engineering-related vortices,  for example those that exist within the wake of an aircraft or car. The objective of the project is to resolve the influence of the vortices to object bodies by controlling the vortices with an instability mechanism. The investigation mainly involves large amounts of computation power to investigate different flow parameters for the vortices.
