Our Research

Turbulence

Our research group investigates physical aspects of turbulence and turbulent flows using high-fidelity numerical simulations and flow modal decomposition

Aeroacoustics

We study noise generation from aerodynamic flows including airframe noise (landing gears and airfoils) and jet noise, with focus on installed jets

Aerodynamics

We develop and apply numerical methods for investigation of unsteady aerodynamics. Flow applications involve flapping and pitching airfoils under dynamic stall

Reduced-order modeling

A recent focus of our group lies on development of robust and accurate reduced order models for fluid flows with applications in aeroacoustics and aerodynamics. We tackle both physics-based and data-driven techniques combining machine learning and system identification

Signal Processing

We develop and employ numerical tools to extract information hidden in stochastic signals.

Numerical methods

We employ accurate numerical methods for study of unsteady flows involving physical phenomena with a large disparity in spatial and temporal scales

About Us

group-research-members

Our research interests include the fields of fluid mechanics and numerical simulation. We work with development of numerical tools and their applicationis to engineering problems involving turbulence, unsteady aerodynamics, compressible flows and aeroacoustics. See more details in "Research Projects".

Prof. William Wolf is the coordinator of the Laboratory of Aeronautical Sciences in the School of Mechanical Engineering at University of Campinas, Brazil. Several graduate and undergraduate students develop research projects in the laboratory (see "Lab Members").

Our lab is equipped with a high-performance computer cluster and several workstations used for pre and post-processing of data obtained from numerical simulations. We also have access to supercomputers in Brazil and abroad that allow the development of our research. We also keep collaboration with national and international research groups in academia and industry
