Research Areas

Research Areas: aeroacoustics, computational fluid dynamics, combustion

Professor Bodony is interested in unsteady flow phenomena, with a particular emphasis on flows that generate sound, using large scale simulations (large-eddy and direct numerical simulations) and analytical methods. His research includes high-speed flows (e.g., the noise produced by modern turbo-fan engines) and low-speed flows (e.g., the sound produced during turbulent combustion and by the human voice).

Research Interests:
Aeroacoustics, compressible turbulence, wave propagation, fluid-structure interaction, aerothermoelasticity, numerical algorithms for massively parallel computing, computational fluid mechanics.
