Researchers in the Penn State Department of Mechanical Engineering received $541,167 to accelerate the designs of higher performing, more efficient and safer aircraft for the United States Navy. The grant, administered by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), will fund the exploration and improved understanding of the effects of freestream turbulence on tip vortex breakdown and decay mechanisms.
