Industrial aerodynamics and wind engineering

Wrik MallikIan Taylor

This research theme involves industrial aerodynamics analysis of large-scale structures and large-Reynolds number flow. We investigate flow and complex fluid-structure interactions over urban environments, offshore and onshore wind turbines, long-span bridge structures, to name a few.

Research topics include:

  • Development of low-order models for analysing fluid-structure interaction on bridge structures and detection of flutter and vortex-induced vibration-led instabilities  
  • Analysing high-speed and high angle of attack flows in offshore wind turbines leading to flow separation and fluid-structure interaction phenomena. Designing low-weight flexible wind turbine blades with low-order aerodynamic models.
