Flow Control Research Lab
Miki Amitay

Professor Amitay's research is focused in Experimental Fluid Mechanics, especially in Aerodynamics. His research interests are in developing flow control technologies for single and multi-phase flows for aeronautical/mechanical systems, including Manned and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Underwater Vehicles, Wind Turbines, and more. His research has been supported by both government agencies and private industry, including the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Office of Naval Research (ONR), Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Intel, Infoscitex, and SOMS Technologies.

Prof Amitay's past and ongoing research projects include:

• Synthetic jets
• Flow Control on 3-D Configurations
• Maneuverability Enhancement of Underwater Vehicles
• Flow Control in Inlet Ducts
• Electro Active Polymers for MAVs
• Green Car Filters
• Performance Enhancement of Wind Turbines
• Flight Control with Flow Control
• flow control on 2-D airfoils
• 'flying bagel'
