Sergei Chernyshenko

Prof. Sergei Chernyshenko is the Principal Investigator, Imperial College team. He is also responsible for overall coordination and management of the project.

Prof. S. Chernyshenko holds a Chair in Aerodynamics in the Department of Aeronautics of the Imperial College, London. Until November 2007 he was a Professor of Fluid Dynamics in the University of Southampton, which he joined in 2000 after more than 25 years of association with the Moscow State University, Russia. He has performed many analytic and numerical studies on different topics in fluid dynamics, including nonlinear stability of air-cushion vehicles, turbulent supersonic separated flows with heat and mass injection in the separation region, triple-deck flows with separation, three-dimensional separation, hydraulically driven centrifuges, rotating stall in axial compressors, and various questions of high-Reynolds-number asymptotics of fluid flows. Chernyshenko's most well-known result (first published in Russian in 1988) is the high-Re asymptotics of the steady solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for the flow past a bluff body. Since 1996 the focus of his interest has shifted to the problem of turbulence and the problem of flow control. In particular, lately he has been working on the theory of organised structures in near-wall turbulent flows, turbulent drug reduction, and application of the Sum-of-Squares approach to flow stability. Chernyshenko was the PI on several EPSRC grants, including a project on "Fluidic control for turbulent drag reduction" under the EPSRC-Airbus Active Aircraft programme. He also coordinated an EU FP6 project on control of vortical flows.
