Career Trajectory
Bio
Prof. Wheatley's research interests are in the fields of supersonic plasma flows, hypersonics and computational fluid dynamics.
Prof. Wheatley's research in supersonic plasma flows focuses on the suppression of instabilities that are detrimental to inertial confinement fusion, a process that promises carbon free energy production. In hypersonics, he focuses on extending the capability scramjets to the point where they can power launch-vehicle stages. This technology could meet the need for safer, more economical space access, which has the potential to revolutionise the space industry. Computational fluid dynamics is his primary method of investigation in these areas.
Prof. Wheatley has expertise in the areas of:
Simulation of hypersonic flows (DNS, LES and RANS)
Using high fidelity numerical simulations, validated by experiments, to provide new details and understanding of scramjet flow physics
Mixing and combustion enhancement in scramjets through fuel/flow structure interactions and novel injector design
Analysis and simulation of plasma instabilities
Numerical methods for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and multi-fluid, ion-electron plasmas
Rarefied gas dynamics
Bluff body wake dynamics
Aeroacoustics, particularly passive noise control for bluff bodies
