Investigation of an Injection-Jet Self-Powered Fontan Circulation: A Novel Bridge and Destination Therapy for the Failing Fontan
  • PI Eduardo Divo

    CO-I Arka Das

  • This research effort unifies multiscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and mock circulatory loop (MCL) benchtop cross-validations to analyze the hemodynamic impact of an innovative palliative alternative: the Injection-Jet-assisted Fontan circulation.

Investigation of Bio-Inspired Cylinders for Enhanced Heat Transfer
  • PI Anish Prasad

    CO-I Yogesh Pai

    CO-I Royce Fernandes

    CO-I Mark Ricklick

  • This project investigates a novel cylinder design inspired from the Harbor Seal whisker, with the goal of reducing coolant pumping power requirements while maintaining heat transfer rates in pin-fin arrays. 
Investigation of Heat, Shade and Tilt Angle on Solar Panels
  • PI Birce Dikici

    CO-I Javier Jalandoni

  • This study examines the effect of heat, shade and tilt angle on solar panels. Extreme heats can cause a decrease in solar panel's power output and airstream can dissipate the heat and bring the solar panel to its normal operating condition. Solar panel efficiency is undesirably affected by heat and improved with introducing cooler medium. As well as heat, solar panel loses its power when a part of it is shaded by trees or surrounding buildings.

Investigation of Thermal Conductivity in Biomass Products
  • PI Birce Dikici

    CO-I Parvesh Reddy Bommi Narasimha

    CO-I Shruti Kamdar

  • Thermal conductivity plays an important role in several applications related to heat transfer such as refrigeration and air conditioning. Biomass products can be used to provide the energy required to run heat exchangers in engines, boilers and cooling systems.

Iranian Proxy Groups in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen A Comparative Analysis
  • CO-I Hugh Sadri

  •  After the fall of Saddam Hussein, Tehran’s leaders took advantage of Baghdad’s weak position and put many Iraqi power centers and local groups under their influence using a variety of soft to hard power instruments. After the withdrawal of coalition forces from the region in 2011 and through its proxy networks, Tehran gained a solid foothold in Iraq and Syria under the guise of helping Baghdad and Damascus fight the Islamic State. Likewise, Iranian proxy groups have backed Houthi rebels in Yemen fighting a regime dependent on Saudi Arabia for survival. Our primary research question is: How does Iran develop, employ, and sustain proxy organizations in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, and what vulnerabilities does its regional strategy face as a result? Our objective is to analyze the role of Iranian influence in its proxy organizations across the Middle East. 
IUSE/PFE: RED Innovation: Using Scrum to Develop an Agile Department
  • PI Massood Towhidnejad

    CO-I Omar Ochoa

    CO-I James Pembridge

  • Efforts to implement these kinds of changes are often slowed down by department cultures or faculty attitudes about the amount of time and work that would be involved. In this project the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ will implement an innovative approach to become a department that responds quickly to student and industry needs.

L

Langrangian Wind Tunnel
  • ERAU is supporting industry (i.e. Global Aerospace Corp.) in the development of a novel hypersonic wind tunnel by using high-fidelity computational fluid dynamcs.
Large Amplitude Electromagnetic Waves in the Radiation Belt
  • CO-I Miles Bengtson

    CO-I Anatoly Streltsov

  • When the first American satellite, Explorer I, was launched into space it inadvertently discovered one of the most significant features of our local space environment: the Van Allen Radiation Belts.  This region contains highly energetic particles that are hazardous.  This research involves one promising remediation mechanism based on interactions between these particles and very-low frequency electromagnetic waves known as whistlers.
Large Eddy Simulations of Liftoff Noise Reduction
  • PI Vladimir Golubev

    CO-I Reda Mankbadi

    CO-I Reda Mankbadi

  • This work conducts numerical studies of impinging jet acoustics in support of the efforts to suppress high nonlinear acoustic loads on the spacecraft structures during the launch phase.
LAX Tow Tugs Feasibility Study
  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • Currently, United Airlines does not have any tow tugs at LAX and uses only tractors with pull bars.
Leadership Excellence: Using our Gifts to be Christ-like
  • PI Matthew Earnhardt

  • Arguably the most influential individual to walk this earth was Jesus of Nazareth. Christians argue Jesus was, and is, the epitome of leadership and His example is to be followed in every aspect of one's life, including leadership.
