Research summary
AI-generated

Sally P. Bane's research focuses on experimental fluid dynamics and plasma physics applied to aerospace and combustion problems. Her work includes developing optical measurement techniques (such as background-oriented schlieren and velocimetry methods) for studying high-speed and turbulent flows, and using plasma discharges to control combustion instabilities, flames, and shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions. This research is relevant to applications like supersonic vehicle design, detonation engines, and combustion stability control.
