Description: The research group in the Advanced Measurements and Data Systems Branch (AMDSB) of the Research Directorate at NASA Langley Research Center focuses on developing advanced laser-based measurement techniques for transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flows. The primary responsibilities include:
- Designing and conducting wind tunnel experiments to validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models.
- Applying femtosecond laser electronic excitation and tagging (FLEET) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) to study high Reynolds number transonic flows.
- Implementing planar laser‑induced fluorescence (PLIF) to investigate launch and hypersonic re‑entry vehicles and heat shield materials.
- Developing new variations of laser-based measurement techniques to extend their capabilities.
- Utilizing the measurement data to address fundamental and applied fluid‑mechanics problems.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Citizenship: LPR or U.S. Citizen.
