The underexpanded impinging jet: a self-forcing flow of critical importance. The project aims to support the development and optimisation of a wide range of industrial processing techniques based on an in-depth understanding of receptivity mechanisms in the under-expanded impinging jet flow. Under-expanded impinging jets have broad applications ranging from aerospace propulsion to additive manufacturing to pharmaceutical drug delivery.

The project aims to support the development and optimisation of a wide range of industrial processing techniques based on an in-depth understanding of receptivity mechanisms in the under-expanded impinging jet flow. Under-expanded impinging jets have broad applications ranging from aerospace propulsion to additive manufacturing to pharmaceutical drug delivery. By elucidating the underlying physics of this highly complex flow field, the project aims to facilitate active control methodologies in a range of key industrial flows. The expected outcomes of the research include improving the efficiency and efficacy of a number of industrial processes, as well as increased knowledge about the fundamental science.Read moreRead less
