An experimental study of the aft guide vanes of an engine bypass nacelle for low-boom supersonic flight
Due to the large disturbance created by the sonic boom, supersonic flight is strictly controlled by the FAA. One way in which to minimize the sonic boom is through shape-tailoring of the aircraft body and of the propulsion system. To this end, a new supersonic engine concept has been proposed, …

The fluid-structure interaction of an axisymmetric underexpanded jet flowing across an adjacent compliant surface
The current work characterizes, via detailed experiments, the flowfield and surface states of the relatively little-explored problem of an underexpanded axisymmetric jet flowing across an adjacent parallel surface, in both rigid-surface and compliant-surface configurations. To date, the vast …

Bioinspired alterations of collagen-glycosaminoglycan scaffolds for tissue regeneration applications
Following injury, adult musculoskeletal wounds undergo a process of repair, the body's way of quickly closing an area of damage. Repair is characterized by the development of granulation tissue (scar) which lacks the structural and functional properties of the native tissue's extracellular matrix …
