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
