Organisations

Imperial College London: The Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College has received the top research rating (maximum 5* scores) in the last two Research Assessment Exercises. Research comprises a unique blend of theory, modelling, CFD and experiment, across a broad range of disciplines from medicine to environmental engineering. The academic staff within the department includes leading experts in the field of turbulence, flow control and control theory and will provide the PI and project researchers with the necessary intellectual support and basic infrastructure to carry out the proposed project.

University of Oxford: The Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford has an international reputation for its research in all the major branches of engineering, including control engineering and thermofluids, as well as in emerging areas such as energy and the environment. A strong emphasis is placed on inter-disciplinary and collaborative work especially within engineering science but also across the physical and life sciences. The Control Group within the department has a strong track record in the analysis, design and implementation of control systems and is applying control theoretical ideas to improve the performance and efficiency of many engineering, physical and biomedical systems. The group has a strong track record in the analysis and design of nonlinear and infinite dimensional systems.

University of Southampton: Engineering and the Environment is world-leading integrated research, teaching and enterprise organisation covering a wide range of disciplines. The Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics Research Group (AFM) has specialist expertise in a number of fields in fluid mechanics, including high performance computing, turbulence and flow control. There are strong links with the internationally known control systems group in the School of Electronics and Computer Science at Southampton lead by Prof Eric Rogers, in a number of areas, including flow control, providing a further source of expertise for the proposed research.

The projects has links with:

Automatic Control Laboratory ETH Zurich,

Department of Mathematics of the University of Michigan,

Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of California, Santa Barbara,

and Airbus Operation Ltd.
