The stars of the "Jaws" films--sharks--have recently become the subject of a new engineering research project. The project explores energy conservation and boundary layer control in regard to a ...

A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of ...

The control of small structures and fast modes needs not only more accurate values in the commonly used dimensions (, u, T, P), but also, in fact more essentially, the controls from more dimensions.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...
