Computational Modeling of Aviation Systems DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory in United States

PhD studentship at the University of Arizona on DNS of hypersonic boundary-layer transition . The project uses high-fidelity Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) to study stability and laminar-turbulent transition in boundary layers at hypersonic speeds ( M = 4 to 14 ). Research topics include the physical mechanisms governing the linear and nonlinear stages of transition, breakdown to turbulence, and the investigation of promising flow-control methods using high-fidelity DNS. The position is well...

The DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Flight Sciences Branch is seeking researchers to contribute to ongoing work in aeroballistics and the control of guided and unguided Army munitions. The opening is centered on flight dynamics and control, with emphasis on understanding how munitions respond to aerodynamic forces and moments and how those responses can be shaped to improve range, accuracy, and survivability in flight. The research scope spans both unguided and guided flight. On the unguided sid...
