2004 - Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanics
  • Aerodynamics
  • Mach number

His primary scientific interests are in Mach number, Hypersonic speed, Boundary layer, Mechanics and Reynolds number. His research integrates issues of Leading edge, Geometry, Phase velocity and Instability in his study of Mach number. His research on Hypersonic speed concerns the broader Aerospace engineering.

His Boundary layer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Angle of attack, Supersonic speed and Laminar flow. His Mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Control theory, Plasma actuator and Optics. His Reynolds number research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Compressible flow, Simulation, Supersonic wind tunnel and Shock.

His most cited work include:

  • On hypersonic boundary-layer stability (197 citations)
  • Mechanisms of plasma actuators for hypersonic flow control (112 citations)
  • Drag Prediction and Transition in Hypersonic Flow (79 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Boundary layer, Mechanics, Hypersonic speed, Mach number and Aerospace engineering. The concepts of his Boundary layer study are interwoven with issues in Turbulence, Geometry and Laminar flow. His studies link Flare with Mechanics.

His research in Hypersonic speed focuses on subjects like Angle of attack, which are connected to Laminar-turbulent transition and Radius. His studies deal with areas such as Freestream, Reynolds number, Instability and Optics as well as Mach number. His work on Wind tunnel is typically connected to Environmental science as part of general Aerospace engineering study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Boundary layer (53.10%)
  • Mechanics (51.72%)
  • Hypersonic speed (46.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Hypersonic speed (46.21%)
  • Mechanics (51.72%)
  • Boundary layer (53.10%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Roger L. Kimmel mainly focuses on Hypersonic speed, Mechanics, Boundary layer, Angle of attack and Cone. His Hypersonic speed study is focused on Aerospace engineering in general. His study in the field of Wind tunnel is also linked to topics like Environmental science.

Roger L. Kimmel combines subjects such as Surface finish and Flare with his study of Mechanics. Roger L. Kimmel has researched Boundary layer in several fields, including Condensed matter physics and Heat transfer. His Angle of attack research incorporates elements of Direct numerical simulation, Laminar-turbulent transition and Hypersonic flight.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nose-Tip Bluntness Effects on Transition at Hypersonic Speeds (17 citations)
  • Transition on a Variable Bluntness 7-Degree Cone at High Reynolds Number (11 citations)
  • HIFIRE-5b Heat Flux and Boundary-Layer Transition (10 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mechanics
  • Aerospace engineering
  • Mechanical engineering

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Hypersonic speed, Angle of attack, Mechanics, Boundary layer and Geometry. Roger L. Kimmel integrates Hypersonic speed with Thesaurus in his study. Angle of attack is a subfield of Aerospace engineering that he investigates.

His Aerospace engineering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Turbulence and Heat flux. His biological study focuses on Laminar-turbulent transition. Roger L. Kimmel focuses mostly in the field of Geometry, narrowing it down to topics relating to Degree and, in certain cases, Reynolds number.
