About the research group for the fully funded Master and PhD positions
High-Speed Aerodynamics
Fundamental and applied research to the hypersonic atmospheric entry aerodynamics has been performed in the AERO-CORE group. Numerical simulations using the OpenFOAM were used to study the near wake of hypersonic blunt bodies, with an emphasis on the separation region, which is a result of a shock-wave-boundary-layer interaction (SWBLI). Collaboration with scientists at the NASA Langley Research Center allowed for planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging of the Mars Science Laboratory vehicle in the 31-inch Mach 10 hypersonic wind tunnel. Comparisons between PLIF and OVERFLOW simulations showed good agreement of the separated wake region.
Applied Aerodynamics
Numerical simulations of nanoaerosols injected into supersonic intake systems have shown how the rapid exchange of momentum and energy can result in the suppression of separation normally induced by SWBLI. It also shown how this rapid particle-gas exchange can also improver the overall performance of an intake through enhanced pressure recovery. In some situations, the use of nanoparticles can stabilize an intake that is experiencing buzz in off-design conditions.

Propulsion System Development and Testing
A custom-built rocket test facility was used to develop an N2O/paraffin hybrid rocket motor (left image). Hybrid rockets have the promise of being cleaner for the environment and safer to operate. Several flight experiments were performed on a full vehicle (middle image) at a test range in Alberta. Onboard flight data was used to evaluate the performance of the motor (right image) and compare to ground tests.
Laser and Optical Diagnostics
Non-intrusive diagnostics are used to study high-speed flows. PLIF (left image) was performed in collaboration with NASA and the University of Virginia to study high-speed propulsion. The image shows the development of the turbulent flame in the engine. The development of a low-cost light source (right image) enables the visualization of gas dynamic phenomena, such as shock and expansion waves.
About the fully funded Master and PhD Positions
Energetic and passionate Masters and PhD students are sought to join the Aerospace and Compressible Flow Research (AERO-CORE) Group at the University of Calgary. These are fully funded positions and research projects will focus on problems related to high-speed propulsion and high-speed aerodynamics for rockets and aircraft. Flight tests, engine test cells, rocket static firings, shock-tunnel tests, wind-tunnel tests, computational fluid dynamics simulations, multi-disciplinary design optimization, and theoretical analyses will be used as research methods. You will be joining a large, vibrant, and experienced research group that has a mission of bringing vehicle concepts to flight.
