Institute of Aerodynamics and Gasdynamics

Experimental Gas Dynamics

The working group deals with experimental fundamental research in the field of compressible external, internal and boundary layer flows. Another focus is the optimization of necessary short-term measurement methods and the further development of experimental facilities.

Activities Gas Dynamic Test Facilities

Basic research

  • Laminar-turbulent boundary layer transition
  • Shock-boundary layer interaction at supersonic inlets
  • Modal analysis of fluctuations in boundary layers and in free flow

Measurement techniques

  • Further development of hot-wire anemometers
  • Development of transient heat flow sensors
  • Short-time measurement technology
  • Optical methods
