Rocket Scientists @KAUST Which is your main ongoing RESEARCH in the aerospace and space flight sectors? I study high pressure flames and high speed combustion. Both are simplified versions of what’s happening in rocket engines and other propulsion systems. Prof. Deanna Lacoste I work in high pressure combustion, just what is needed in a rocket engine or other propulsion device. Prof. William Roberts Two keywords here: "turbulence" and "computational aerodynamics". In my group we conduct research in simulating turbulent flows over airfoils, wings and other aerodynamic shapes to better
