Development of an Aviation Weather Database Highlighting Weather Encounters

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • The project team, which includes the FAA's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute, Clemson University, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, interviewed 26 General Aviation (GA) pilots over a 25-month period.
Development of an SE(3)-based Rigid Body Pose Estimation Scheme for Unknown Moments of Inertia in a Spacecraft
  • The objective of this proposal is the development of an SE(3)-based rigid body pose estimation scheme for unknown moments of inertia in a spacecraft. This estimator design will a) account for translation/rotation coupling, b) avoid singularity or non-uniqueness issues, c) gain high level of convergence, and d)account for system uncertainties.
Diagnosing Kinematic Processes Responsible for Precipitation Distributions in Hurricanes

  • PI Joshua Wadler

  • This project studies physical processes behind why the spatial distribution of different types of precipitation are related to hurricane intensity change.
Discontinuity-driven mesh adaptation method for hyperbolic conservation laws

  • PI Mihhail Berezovski

  • ​The proposed project is aimed at developing a highly accurate, efficient, and robust one-dimensional adaptive-mesh computational method for simulation of the propagation of discontinuities in solids. The principal part of this research is focused on the development of a new mesh adaptation technique and an accurate discontinuity tracking algorithm that will enhance the accuracy and efficiency of computations. The main idea is to combine the flexibility afforded by a dynamically moving mesh with the increased accuracy and efficiency of a discontinuity tracking algorithm, while preserving the stability of the scheme.
Dynamics in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere over the Andes Lidar Observatory

  • PI Alan Liu

  • This project is a collaborative multi-instrument investigation of the dynamics in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) over the Andes Lidar Observatory (ALO) in Cerro Pachón, Chile.

East Central Florida Extreme Weather Events
  • I've analyzed the synoptic and sub-synoptic aspects of the 25 December 2006 tornado outbreak in central Florida that resulted in $50 million of damage to the Embry-Riddle campus. I've examined this case from conventional meteorological and emergency-preparedness perspectives.
Eco-Dolphin

  • PI Hong Liu

    CO-I Zakaria Daud

    CO-I Ci Wen

    CO-I Dynamite Obinna

  • Eco-Dolphin is the name of a fleet of adaptive and cooperative automated underwater vehicles (AUVs) that a team of students at ERAU have been working on since January 2012.
Effect of Surfactant Viscosity on Nucleate Pool Boiling

  • PI Birce Dikici

    CO-I Nonso Onukwuba

    CO-I Remelisa Esteves

  • Surfactants are used in engineering systems for reducing surface tension of fluids, especially water. However, it is not known how their viscosities affect nucleate boiling. The purpose of this research is to determine the viscosities of various surfactant solutions and elucidate the effect of viscosity on nucleate boiling
Efficient Management of Certificate Revocation List (CRL)

  • PI Shafika Showkat Moni

  • Most of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) based security and privacy solutions for VANETs use pseudonyms where each vehicle gets multiple identities to improve privacy significantly.
Electromagnetic Waves and Particles in Earth's Radiation Belt

  • PI Anatoly Streltsov

  • Propagation of electromagnetic waves in the inhomogeneous, magnetized plasma and interactions between these waves and energetic electrons inside the radiation belt are among the most important and interesting problems of modern geophysics.
Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) impact on flight student performance during an Instrument Approach

  • PI Robert Thomas

  • The use of Electronic Flight Bags (EFB) is increasing in aviation. The purpose of this research is to investigate if the use of an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) during flight courses has an impact on flight student performance. Flight students will be given a series of instrument approaches to fly with paper instrument charts and with an EFB.
Engineering Global Leaders

  • PI Andrew Kornecki

    CO-I Massood Towhidnejad

  • In this multi-institution engineering mobility project sponsored by the Fund for Improving Post-Secondary Education of the U.S. Department of Education, participating students and faculty concentrate on engineering education and research by supporting study abroad.
