Welcome to the McKeon Research Group
The McKeon group specializes in experimental and theoretical fluid mechanics, in particular:
Modeling and control of wall-bounded flows using smart, morphing surfaces Resolvent analysis as a tool for modeling turbulent, transitional and controlled flows; rigorous, system-level tools for understanding flow physics and design of flow control schemes.
Data assimilation and machine learning techniques for engineering flows Fusion of experimental and computational data for improved modeling and control of complex flows and geometries.
Measurement, definition and description of high Reynolds number wall turbulence Interdisciplinary approaches to experimental flow manipulation for performance enhancement and understanding of fundamental flow physics; application of new materials to flow control.
News
- Prof. McKeon was fortunate to visit a range of DoD platforms as part of the Bush Fellows Research Study Team (BFRST), designed to strengthen connections between academic research and needs in the field. 07/17/23.
Members of the group ran the San Jose 5km Spartan Sprint! We were happy before and after the event. 😊 8/27/23
BEFORE 
AFTER - Stories of Women in Fluids launched its website at https://www.storiesofwomeninfluids.org/ . Professor McKeon is part of the leadership team. Stay tuned for updates on this initiative. 8/22/23
