Impulsive Flows - beyond velocity and acceleration

My goal is to investigate impulsive flows that occur both in nature and technological applications, where fluid is accelerated due to sudden motion of an object or boundary, which leads to an additional instationary drag or lift forces. This project will shed new light on the understanding of the fundamental properties and flow physics of these impulsive flows. Theoretical concepts that are used today, do not go much beyond those laid down almost 100 years ago. With today’s level of technology and experimental tools I will be able to break new ground in the understanding of these flow phenomena that are very challenging both experimentally and numerically. First, a novel-concept flow…
