Thomas Castelain

Thomas Castelain is a Lecturer at University Lyon 1 and a member of the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics (LMFA - UMR 5509). His research focuses on Aeroacoustics and Flow Control in high Reynolds subsonic/supersonic jets.

• Research Themes
  • Experimental study of shock noise sources (screech, broadband shock noise)
  • Flow control around ground vehicles using unsteady jets and flaps
  • Optical flow measurements via Rayleigh scattering
  • Scaling laws for aerodynamic drag reduction
• Key Collaborations
  • Part of the Aeroacoustics and Environmental Flows teams
  • Collaboration with Pprime-LMFA and INSA Lyon

Advising: Supervised PhD theses on aerodynamic instabilities, compressible flow metrology, and vehicle drag reduction. Affiliated with the Acoustique and Turbomachines research groups.
