The group is actively involved in computational and experimental research on fluid flows, ranging from low Reynolds number jets to high enthalpy hypersonic flows. In addition to exploring fundamental research areas such as flow instability, we are also pursuing applied research such as aerodynamic shape optimisation, AI/ML applications to aerospace engineering and development of laser based sensors for high temperature flow diagnostics. Flight mechanics is also an active area of research in this group with work being carried out in areas such as system identification of flight vehicles, reinforcement learning based control and trajectory optimisation. AFM labs are equipped state of the art facilities such as high pressure shock tube, UAV systems, tunable diode lasers.
