Power minimization on fixed-pitch coaxial rotors
Abstract: Fixed-pitch coaxial, contrarotating rotors are often used in large multirotor aircraft in applications ranging from payload delivery to urban air mobility. This presentation will examine the potential of minimizing net […]
ML for Automated Monitoring of Insects
Abstract: Biodiversity monitoring is crucial for tracking and counteracting adverse trends in population fluctuations due to climate change and other anthropogenic factors. While terrestrial animals have been a keen interest, insects […]
Renaissance of Phase
Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace StudiesAbstract: The phase or argument of a complex number is an important concept known to most of the university students in STEM. We will begin the talk by asking the following […]
Registration-based model reduction of parameterized PDEs with spatio-parameter adaptivity
Abstract: We present a nonlinear registration-based model reduction procedure for rapid and reliable solution of parameterized two-dimensional steady conservation laws. This class of problems is challenging for model reduction techniques due […]
Sound sources in premixed flames
Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace StudiesAbstract: Lean premixed combustion is the desired combustion regime in industrial gas turbines. It results in a low level of NOX emissions due to operating at lower temperatures and facilitates […]
Physics-driven control of complex fluid flows
Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace StudiesAbstract: The ability to control fluid flow behaviors can lead to quiet, economical, and efficient systems in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. Because of high dimensionality, strong nonlinearity, and complexity in […]

Bio: Nimeesha Kuntawala is a Product Development Team Lead in the Flight Sciences directorate at Gulfstream Aerospace. She has been at Gulfstream for 7 years. She started at Gulfstream as […]
A Variational Theory of Aero-hydrodynamics
A Variational Theory of Aero-hydrodynamics The Euler equation does not possess a unique solution for the flow over a two-dimensional object. This problem has serious repercussions in aerodynamics; it implies […]
Bayesian Sequential Optimal Experimental Design
Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace StudiesSpeaker: Xun Huan Date & time: Thursday, June 8th, 1pm Location: UTIAS Lecture Hall Title: Bayesian Sequential Optimal Experimental Design Abstract: Experiments are crucial for developing and refining models in […]
Dynamics of flow unsteadiness in high-speed double cones and cylinders
Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace StudiesDate and Time: July 7, 11 AM Venue: UTIAS Lecture Hall, AS 158 Abstract: External flows in the high-speed (compressible) regime with regions of flow separation often present rich […]
