Dan Henningson

Dan Henningson is a Professor at the Department of FLOW MECHANICS, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research focuses on fluid mechanics, turbulence, and aerodynamics, with a particular emphasis on wind energy systems, boundary layer stability, and numerical simulations. He has expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), transition to turbulence phenomena, and flow control strategies.

His work explores the dynamics of wind turbine blades, rotating systems, and transitional flows under various conditions such as free-stream turbulence and pressure gradients. Recent studies include numerical investigations of dynamic stall, bypass transition delay, and the stability of low-pressure turbine cascades. Henningson's contributions span theoretical, numerical, and applied aspects of fluid mechanics, addressing challenges in renewable energy systems and aeroelastic interactions.

Key research trends in his articles include the interplay between turbulence and boundary layer behavior, the role of free-stream disturbances in transition mechanisms, and the application of optimal control theory for flow stabilization. His work also involves advanced techniques like direct numerical simulation (DNS), spectral analysis, and Floquet stability analysis.
