Note:
SAMs 1.1.1 and 1.1.4; In the research project titled " Novel Architected Materials for Drag Reduction and Flow Control in Hypersonic Vehicles", UTSA PIs propose to take a novel interdisciplinary approach to resolve this issue by designing Architectured Metamaterials (AMs) that passively prevent the development of instabilities leading to turbulence. If successful, this research should provide a critical technical achievement in the development of hypersonic vehicles. Architected Materials (AMs) that delay boundary layer transition or reduce SWBLI unsteadiness would have a significant impact on high-speed flight by significantly reducing drag, heating, and pressure loads. This research could therefore lead to improvements in vehicle maneuverability, payload capacity, fuel efficiency, and structural durability for hypersonic flight systems.
