The Unsteady Fluid Dynamics Group is housed in room 119 of the MAE-A building. The group primarily conducts experimental research for fundamental understanding of fluid flow phenomena and its control. The facilities used by UFDG members include wind tunnels to study both subsonic and supersonics flows. In addition to these wind tunnels there is also a significant amount of advanced diagnostic equipment.
