A graduate research position is now available at George Mason University for research in fluid mechanics.
We seek to modify turbulent flows by targeting drag reducing hairpin vortices using micro-particles carrying polymers.
Preference will be given to students with an M.S. in mechanical engineering or related fields (e.g. aerospace engineering, physics, mathematics).
A strong background in fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, and numerical methods is preferred. In addition, fluency in FORTRAN is highly desired.
This work is currently funded under NSF grant: "Targeting Turbulence Using Smart Particles".
