Igor Kurek

Igor Kurek is a Researcher at the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics (LMFA), a joint research unit (UMR 5509) affiliated with INSA Lyon, École Centrale de Lyon, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, and CNRS. His primary affiliation is with the Acoustics group within LMFA, focusing on experimental and theoretical studies in fluid dynamics and aeroacoustics.

Research interests include turbulence analysis, aeroacoustics of rotating machines, flow dynamics in subsonic and high-speed jets, and advanced optical measurement techniques such as Rayleigh scattering and interferometry. His work addresses challenges in fluid-structure interaction, noise reduction, and flow characterization in complex environments.

Publications highlight contributions to interferometric methods for flow parameter measurement (e.g., velocity, temperature, density) and studies of trapped waves in supersonic jets. These works emphasize experimental validation and novel diagnostic approaches in fluid mechanics.

Laboratory affiliations include LMFA’s Turbulence & Instabilities team and the Acoustic group, with access to advanced facilities like anechoic wind tunnels and particle image velocimetry systems. His research aligns with societal applications in aerospace and environmental fluid dynamics.
