Hui Hu

Dr. Hui Hu is an aerospace and mechanical engineer who directs the Advanced Flow Diagnostics and Experimental Aerodynamics Laboratory, and Aircraft Icing Physics and Anti-/De-Icing Technology Laboratory at Iowa State University. His research focuses on: (1) Challenging thermal-fluids problems, including aircraft icing physics; aeroengine icing and anti-/de-icing; wind turbine aeromechanics and wind farm aerodynamics.; heat transfer of gas turbines and cooling technology; UAS aerodynamics and bio-inspired flow dynamics; fluid-structure interactions (FSI) of built structures in violent tornadic and storms winds. (2) Advanced flow diagnostics and instrumentation, including Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (SPIV); Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) and Temperature Sensitive Paint (TSP); Molecular Tagging Velocimetry (MTV) and Molecular Tagging Thermometry (MTT); Quantum Dots (QD) thermal imaging and Digital Image Projection (DIP) techniques
