Jesse C. Little

Jesse C. Little's research focuses on high-speed and low-speed aerodynamics, particularly how airflow separates from surfaces and transitions from smooth (laminar) to chaotic (turbulent) states. Much of the work examines shock wave and boundary layer interactions at supersonic and hypersonic speeds (up to Mach 5+), as well as laminar separation bubbles on wings, using wind tunnel experiments and flow visualization techniques like schlieren imaging. This research is relevant to designing aircraft, high-speed vehicles, and understanding flow control for improved aerodynamic performance.

Publication output has gradually declined over the last decade, from around 13 papers per year in 2017 to roughly 5-7 per year in recent years.
