Research Focus 🌊📘💡

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Göktürk Memduh Özkan specializes in fluid mechanics, with a focus on experimental and computational studies in flow control, vortex suppression, and turbulence. His work includes research on passive flow control methods, such as permeable plates and perforated cylinders, to reduce vortex shedding and drag around bluff bodies and airfoils. He also explores PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) techniques and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) applications in shallow and deep-water flows, as well as renewable energy systems like biomass gasification. His contributions significantly advance our understanding of hydrodynamics, aerodynamic optimization, and energy-efficient flow designs. 🌬️🔬🚀
