The importance of pipe flow research. Australia has over 39,000 km of gas pipeline (Australia Pipelines and Gas Association). Water mains in South Australia along is more than 27,000 km (SA Water).
The amount of energy used solely for pumping
water supply and waste water is 2,425,143 GJ (Water Services Association of Australia).
Complexity of fluid motion with increasing Reynolds number (left to right), leading to increasing difficulty to study.
Articles on why pipe flows are important for Universities.
Different wind farm configurations to study optimum power output
Wind turbines are the leading source of green energy in Australia. As South Australia moves towards complete green energy, wind farms will play an essential role to achieve that target.

Using wind tunnel experiments and supercomputer simulations to study aerodynamics of UAVs.
To design next generation of UAVs with improved flight performance.
We are steady progressing into hypersonic travels. Here our group is researching into hypersonic jet engine. The aim is to understand the flow physics of injecting fuel into a cross flow of Mach number 5. Right image shows distinct shock and turbulence features
