Joseph S. Jewell's research focuses on hypersonic flight aerodynamics, particularly how airflow becomes unstable and transitions from smooth (laminar) to turbulent as vehicles fly at many times the speed of sound. His group uses wind tunnels with unusually 'quiet' (low-disturbance) airflow and specialized optical and pressure measurement techniques to study boundary-layer instabilities, shock-wave interactions, and inlet designs relevant to scramjets and hypersonic vehicles.
