Dr. Tuna is a Research Faculty in Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP) at Florida State University. His research interests lie in the general area of fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and aeroacoustics.

Dr. Tuna’s research approaches are a combined theory, experimental, and numerical approaches to gain insight into key flow phenomena and estimate main performance parameters. FCAAP has a wide range of experimental facilities used to study rocket propulsion, bypass/annular nozzle testing, boundary layer development, laminar-to-turbulent transition, separated flows, wakes, and other external and internal flows of interest in fundamental fluid mechanics and engineering applications. An important aspect of the research conducted by his research team is improving existing experimental methods and developing new techniques for experimental research in fluid mechanics. Both flow visualization and quantitative flow diagnostic are of interest.
