Short Bio
Professor Brown's present research includes experiments in turbulent flows; turbulent flow control using electromagnetic tiles, compressible flow transition, and the fluid mechanics of a radiatively driven hypersonic wind-tunnel (numerical predictions and experiments).
Principal research activities include:
- Electromagnetic Turbulence Control Theory (with Professor D. Nosenchuck)
- The Princeton Radiatively Driven Hypersonic Wind Tunnel (with Professor R. Miles)
- Turbulent Reacting Flows at High Speed (with Professors Miles, Smits and Jameson)
- Compressible Boundary Layer Transition
- The Incompressible Turbulent Wake
