Junior Cafe Scientifique: Seizing the Sky: Controlling Aerodynamics
Saturday, February 10th, 2024 9:30am to 11:00am
: 500 S. Franklin St. Syracuse, NY 13202
Information and Registration
Seizing the Sky: Controlling Aerodynamics; Dr. Yiyang Sun, SU
A continental breakfast will be available at 9:15; attendees must be seated by 9:30. RSVP by replying, with headcount, to jrcafe@tacny.org.
Presenter: Dr. Yiyang Sun, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Syracuse University.
Talk Overview:
The ability to control behaviors of air flows around an airplane can lead to quiet, economical, and efficient systems in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. Because of the complexity of fluid physics, the design of effective control strategies can be challenging. In this talk, Dr. Yiyang Sun will showcase how to “see” air flows around an aircraft, and how to eliminate noise and fluctuations induced by the air flow by using small control devices.
Biography:
Dr. Yiyang Sun is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Syracuse University. Prior to joining Syracuse University, Dr. Sun was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities from 2018 to 2020. Dr. Sun’s research interests focus on understanding the underlying physics of fluid flows and designing physics-driven control strategies using computational fluid dynamics and data science.
