Specifically\, three topics of current inte rest are introduced and recent results being shown: A.) Combined computati onal/experimental analyses of the aeromechanics of high-speed\, high-advan ce-ratio coaxial rotor systems\, B.) Model development of a real-time- cap able\, coupled fluid dynamics/flight mechanics simulation in arbitrary (no t known a priori) flow environments for pilot training in challenging oper ations such as landing on ship decks or oil rigs and flight in offshore wi nd farms\, C.) CFD simulations and experiments on passive flow control at rotor blade tips to accelerate diffusion of the tip vortices for noise red uction and alleviation of detrimental induced and vibratory effects. \n\nS hort bio: Dr. Juergen Rauleder is heading the rotorcraft aeromechanics res earch group at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Dr. Rauleder hold s a Master’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Stut tgart\, Germany\, and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering with a focus on rot orcraft aerodynamics from the University of Maryland\, USA. He worked at t he Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center at the University of Maryland as a visi ting scholar and as a graduate research assistant in the rotorcraft aerody namics laboratory of Prof. Gordon Leishman. Since 2014\, Dr. Rauleder lead s the rotorcraft aerodynamics and dynamics efforts at the Institute of Hel icopter Technology at TUM\, where he also teaches two Master’s classes i n helicopter aerodynamics (fundamentals and advanced topics). His experime ntal and computational research interests are the applied rotor aerodynami cs and dynamics with a focus on aeromechanical interactions\, rotor wake a nd blade aerodynamics\, and vortex flows. Dr. Rauleder is a member of the AIAA Applied Aerodynamics Committee and the Aerodynamics Committee of the American Helicopter Society.\n LOCATION:JDB Seminar Room\, CUED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
