22.01.2022 Many thanks to Omear Saeed for setting up a new flow-visualisation laser in the education wind tunnel! He took some great photos of flow over an F-16 Falcon model, as shown.

19.01.2022 It has been a big month for us as we welcome another new member - Gaspard Rey. Gaspard is an undergraduate student in the last year of his degree at the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) in Lyon. He will be joining us over the next few months. Get to know our new group member! 1. What motivated you to come to UNSW Flow Noise Group?... As part of my training course at INSA, I have to do a masters thesis. Sydney was my dream destination, that's why I chose UNSW. Furthermore, over the course of my degree at INSA, I really enjoyed the topics of fluid mechanics, vibrations and acoustics so the Flow Noise Group was the perfect place for me. 2. What is the best part of studying engineering? Studying engineering is exciting to me because we learn how to answer the challenges of the future. If my work can help a little in answering a few of these questions, it would be awesome! 3. How are you finding Sydney? I have not had that much time to visit the city so far, but from what I've seen, I would say that it is better than I had imagined. However, I am a bit concerned about the bushfires around the city and the country. It is terrible for the forests and the animals. We can see, feel and breath and the smoke even here in Sydney. Welcome Gaspard and we look forward to hearing more about your research! http://www.flownoise.unsw.edu.au//new-fng-member-gaspard-r

16.01.2022 The Flow Noise Group has welcomed a new member - Kolos Pintér. Kolos recently completed his Masters in mechanical engineering in Hungary and will be with us for the next three months. Get to know our new group member! 1. What motivated you to come to UNSW Flow Noise Group?... Professor Con Doolan was in Gyr (Hungary) where I was a trainee at Audi Hungaria Ltd. He held a presentation of the UNSW Flow Noise Group which really impressed me. My boss at Audi and Prof Con Doolan found an interesting project for me to work on. I studied mechanical engineering, specialising in fluid dynamics. In my previous research, I used CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to solve fluid dynamics problems. I am here to learn some acoustic methods while improving my English skills. To summarise, I think this is the best place I could have come. 2. What is the best part of studying engineering? I enjoy the challenge of solving real physics problems 3. How are you finding Sydney? Sydney is the most amazing city I have ever visited. Sydney has huge buildings and beautiful beaches all in one location, and I really like that duality. People are so kind and positive. I also prefer hot weather. Fortunately I will skip the European winter this year Welcome Kolos and we look forward to hearing more about your research! http://www.flownoise.unsw.edu.au//new-fng-member-kolos-pin

02.01.2022 Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a technique used to measure flow velocity across the entire area of flow (as opposed to at a single point). This photo taken in the FNG lab captures the flow around the thermal boundary layer on the back of a solar panel using PIV.
