Welcome to the UT Arlington Aerodynamics Research Center webpage. The Aerodynamics Research Center has existed at the university in one form or another since the 1930's when it was originally an aircraft maintenance and fabrication facility. In 1986, the present building was constructed that allowed for a large expansion of equipment, which now includes lowspeed, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic facilities. Current research has focused on classical and high speed aerodynamics, various aspects of detonation (which includes pulsed detonation engines), shock interaction and electromagnetic flow control. In addition to the experimental facilities, we have extensive capabilities to study and test aerodynamic models using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The experimental test results can be used to validate the CFD models, and vice-versa. Our clients include corporate and government entities as can be seen on our sponsors page.
