Researchers in this area address fundamental and practical issues dealing with the flow of gases and liquids. Research involves both computational and experimental methods that address a wide variety of physical problems such as turbulence, the interaction of fluids and solids, high speed flows, multiphase flows including aircraft icing, and supersonic and hypersonic flow.
