Our team participated in this year’s edition of the European Researchers Night with two outreach activities, introducing to the local community to the main concept of the project: unsing and developping new generation tecniques for fluid characterization and control.
Visible Noise: The Science of the Unseen
PhD students Qihong Lorena Li Hu and Martín Navarro González invited the audience to explore why the study of noise is important for aerospace engineers and how it is investigated in our laboratories. They began by explaining the concept of noise through simple explanations and demonstrations, helping the audience understand how noise can be observed and analysed through the identification of patterns. Afterwards, they presented our facilities, showcasing techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) of jet flows, and explained how these techniques are connected to noise and how they allow us to visualise the patterns associated with it.
Artificial Intelligence and Aerodynamics: Learning to Measure and Tame Turbulence
Using visual and dynamic examples, Guy Cornejo Maceda and Stefano Discetti gave an interactive talk on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can become a powerful ally in understanding, measuring, predicting, and controlling the behavior of air. Their presentation explored how this knowledge can lead to significant benefits, such as reducing energy consumption, improving transportation, and protecting the environment.
This activity was featured in a promotional highlight video produced by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, giving further visibility in our project and its potential impact on our everyday lives. You can watch the relevant part of the video below:
