Aerodynamics & Aeroelasticity
Working at the intersection of fluid mechanics, structural mechanics and dynamics, Duke MEMS faculty are investigating a diverse range of aerospace problems. Using computational and experimental methods, our researchers seek to discover new knowledge of the physics involved to aid in the development of improved airframes and turbomachinery that are safer and more efficient.
