This National Science Foundation Engineering project grant of $198,202 was awarded on April 1, 2023 to Trustees of Union College to support research on wake interactions past two roughness elements in close proximity to a surface. Using state-of-the-art instrumentation including high-speed volumetric particle image velocimetry, the grantee will quantify and characterize turbulent flow interactions between the wakes of two cylindrical roughness elements positioned in varying configurations within a turbulent boundary layer. The research aims to address gaps in understanding rich flow physics involving sheltering effects when multiple roughness elements are in close proximity. Spatially- and temporally-resolved flow measurements will provide benchmark data and insight to aid modeling efforts. By engaging undergraduate students in hands-on research, the project also supports the NSF Engineering program's goal of fostering innovation and excellence in engineering education.
