Development of flow control devices: Synthetic Jet /Desarrollo de dispositivos de control de flujo: Jet Sintético
This project is
focused on development Synthetic Jet actuators (active flow control device) to
improve the deteriorated aerodynamic characteristics of the low Reynolds number
flow regimes and potentially use the same structure as a maneuvering device over
micro aerial vehicles (MAV). This research work covers the characterization of
synthetic jets using numerical simulation (CFD) and experimental data from wind
tunnel for validation (MAV developed in our team).
Aerodynamic study of a concept-car vehicle / Estudio aerodinámico de un vehículo Concept-Car
External aerodynamics study for shape optimization on a Concept Car called ALLSCAPE, we have developed a methodology to improve the first stages of the vehicle conceptual design using CFD tools (ANSYS-CFX). The ALLSCAPE was a finalist for the Peugeot Design Contest 2007, author Gustavo Ferrero.

Aerodynamic study applied to chasis design of a solar car prototype ARAGUANEY-CS1 / Diseño aerodinámico del chasis para el vehículo solar ARAGUANEY-CS1
Design of Chassis and Aerodynamic Improvements of a Solar Energy Powered Vehicle (World Solar Challenge 2007). From the conceptual design of the shape until the numerical simulation using CFD (Gambit and CFX) tools and the wind tunnel tests andvisualization flow (mini-tuft and black light) on a scale model to validate the numerical study.
Aerodynamic design of a Formula SAE Rear Wing
Experimental and numerical study of aerodynamics performance of a Formula-Student Vehicle, conducting the wind tunnel experiments on a scale model and the numerical simulation to design a two elements rear wing using Xfoil (aifoil selection), Ansys FLUENT (3D study) and TECPLOT as a postprocessor
