Dr. MacChesney’s doctoral studies focused on improvement of the state of the art in heavy vehicle aerodynamics through computational fluid dynamics methods. Through his research he has devised a drag reduction device inspired by the shape of a harbor seal whisker that reduces drag by up to 22%. Additionally, through application of a novel decomposition method he uncovered a hidden order within massively-separated turbulent flows with evidence that supports a centrifugal mechanism. | en_US |
