Patricia Sujar Garrido

Patricia Sujar Garrido is a Researcher at the Department of Fluid Mechanics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. Her work focuses on experimental fluid dynamics, with expertise in PIV measurements, actuator fabrication, and hands-on experimentation. She teaches Thermodynamics (SG1216) and assists in Fluid Mechanics courses for engineers and basic fluid mechanics programs.

Research interests include flow control using plasma actuators, turbulence dynamics, and aerodynamics optimization. Her studies involve manipulating turbulent flows downstream of backward-facing steps, controlling shear layers, and optimizing vortex generators for bluff bodies. Experimental methods like PIV and numerical simulations drive her investigations into flow separation, reattachment, and energy-efficient solutions for drag reduction.

Publications emphasize plasma actuator applications in modifying shear layers, stabilizing turbulent flows, and enhancing aerodynamic performance. No scientific awards are listed, but her contributions highlight innovation in active flow control techniques. She collaborates on projects involving unsteady blowing systems and DBD plasma actuators to address complex fluid dynamics challenges.
