Datta V. Gaitonde

This researcher studies high-speed and supersonic/hypersonic fluid flows, using computational simulations to understand phenomena like shock waves, turbulence, boundary-layer instabilities, and jet noise relevant to aerospace vehicles and propulsion systems. The work combines fundamental fluid mechanics with practical engineering applications such as projectile wakes, aircraft wakes, and jet engine exhaust flows, often using advanced computing methods including GPU-accelerated simulations.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the last decade, fluctuating between roughly 13 and 35 papers per year with a dip in 2023 followed by a rebound, averaging about 22 papers annually over the past five years.
