Peter Scholz

Dr.-Ing. Peter Scholz is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics, Technische Universität Braunschweig. With a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (2009) and a background in Aerospace Engineering from TU Braunschweig, he specializes in aerodynamics, active flow control, and experimental fluid dynamics, particularly using fluidic vortex generators and numerical simulations. He leads research groups and played a pivotal role in designing the university’s large water tunnel.

• Core Research Areas: Aerodynamics, Flow Control, Fluid Mechanics, Experimental Methods, Numerical Simulations, Aerospace Applications.

His recent publications focus on supersonic flow dynamics, laminar flow control, and wake structure analysis, with methodologies spanning Large-Eddy Simulation, PIV measurements, and high-speed flow diagnostics. Though no formal awards are documented, his work is integral to Germany’s flow control research initiatives. Dr. Scholz collaborates extensively with institutions like DLR and Fraunhofer WKI, advancing sustainable propulsion and flow control technologies.
