The underlying theme of Professor Nosenchuck's work revolves around the control of complex fluid flows. To achieve this, he is currently engaged in several areas of research. These include the experimental study and active control of turbulent boundary-layers, the development of a new three-dimensional dynamic flow-visualization technique using laser-sheet scanning, and the design and construction of a very-high-speed computer for use in complex flow simulations and control applications. Recently, he developed a new technique to introduce controlled electromagnetic body forces into weakly conducting fluids, such as seawater and hypersonic boundary layers with aero-thermal heating, for the purpose of significantly reducing turbulent effects.
