Visiting Research Students
The Aeromechanical Systems Group regularly hosts European undergraduate students to complete a 3-month project as part of their degree requirements.
Any prospective Visiting Research Students interested in a placement within the Aeromechanical Systems Group are invited to send their resume to Professor Kevin Knowles along with a brief description of your intended project area.
Topics previously researched in the ASG are listed below.
- Effect of Turbulent Wakes on a Generic Road Vehicle (HWT)
- Wing High-lift Devices for Micro Air Vehicles (OJWT)
- Measurement of wing loads during gusts (OJWT)
- Supersonic wind tunnel calibration (SSWT)
- Low-speed cavity flow experiments (CJWT)
