Professor Dabiri's Fluid Dynamics Research Facility develops novel measurement systems, most recently 2D and 3D Digital Particle Tracking Velocimetry (2DPTV & 3DPTV). With these and other novel methodologies that allow for high-resolution and global measurements of fluid flows, we reveal new in-depth fundamental understandings in fluid mechanics that would have otherwise not been possible. Our lab applies these methologies towards studies in the following:

• Aerodynamics
• Hydrodynamics
• Laminar and turbulent boundary layers, transition, separation, and flow control
• Experimental approaches to turbulence modeling
• Wake flows
• Micro-flows and cardiovascular flows
• Aero-acoustics
