Research summary

Nathan J. Webb's research focuses on controlling airflow around aircraft and jets using engineered devices such as plasma actuators and micro-cavity structures. His work aims to improve aerodynamic performance, for example by delaying 'dynamic stall' (a loss of lift on wings or blades during rapid motion) and by steering the direction of jet exhaust without moving mechanical parts. This work is experimental, involving wind tunnel and jet flow testing of small-scale flow-control devices.
