Supervisor’s research interests

• Research and development of the flow-control devices, based on low temperature plasma (plasma actuators).
• Development of plasma-based systems for boundary layer transition control, noise reduction in aeroacoustic problems, flow separation.
• Study of barrier discharge physics, including electrode processes, memory effects and ionic wind generation.
• Combustion and mixing control using gas discharges

Research highlights

Laboratory of plasma flow control and plasma assisted combustion is one of the leading research units in its area. The laboratory is equipped by two wind-tunnel- subsonic for low turbulent research and blowdown supersonic facility.
Measurement techniques for flow quantities includes particle imaging velocimetry and high speed shadow imaging. Study of the discharge physics is performed using short exposure (2ns) camera and high speed oscilloscopes.
The lab is involved into the international cooperation with Ecole Politechnique, and occasionally participates in the cooperative projects with leading aerospace centers in Europe (DLR, Onera, Nottingham University). The financial support can be provided, depending on applicant results and current situation in laboratory
