Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanics
  • Fluid dynamics
  • Aerodynamics

His primary areas of study are Mechanics, Swept wing, Boundary layer, Vortex and Laminar flow. The Mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Classical mechanics and Optics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Computational fluid dynamics, Blasius boundary layer and Aerodynamics in addition to Classical mechanics.

His work carried out in the field of Swept wing brings together such families of science as Surface finish, Pressure gradient and Process. The concepts of his Boundary layer study are interwoven with issues in Freestream and Mean flow. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Secondary flow and Nonlinear system.

His most cited work include:

  • STABILITY AND TRANSITION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL BOUNDARY LAYERS (454 citations)
  • BOUNDARY-LAYER RECEPTIVITY TO FREESTREAM DISTURBANCES (377 citations)
  • Stability of three-dimensional boundary layers (348 citations)

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

William S. Saric spends much of his time researching Mechanics, Boundary layer, Swept wing, Laminar flow and Turbulence. His Mechanics course of study focuses on Optics and Mach number. His Boundary layer research includes elements of Acoustics and Leading edge.

His Swept wing research incorporates elements of Surface finish, Computational fluid dynamics, Angle of attack, Airfoil and Surface roughness. William S. Saric interconnects Flight test, Supersonic speed, Transonic and Wing in the investigation of issues within Laminar flow. In his work, Nonlinear system and Görtler vortices is strongly intertwined with Classical mechanics, which is a subfield of Turbulence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (56.95%)
  • Boundary layer (39.91%)
  • Swept wing (31.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Mechanics (56.95%)
  • Boundary layer (39.91%)
  • Laminar flow (26.01%)

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

William S. Saric focuses on Mechanics, Boundary layer, Laminar flow, Swept wing and Reynolds number. In most of his Mechanics studies, his work intersects topics such as Optics. His Boundary layer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Wavelength, Mach number, Shear stress, Geometry and Wind tunnel.

His Laminar flow research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Computational fluid dynamics, Flight test, Transonic and Wing. His research integrates issues of Acoustics, Surface finish, Flow and Pressure gradient in his study of Swept wing. He has researched Reynolds number in several fields, including Angle of attack and Aerodynamics.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Passive control of transition in three-dimensional boundary layers, with emphasis on discrete roughness elements. (74 citations)
  • Crossflow instability in a hypersonic boundary layer (39 citations)
  • Direct Numerical Simulation of Discrete Roughness on a Swept-Wing Leading Edge (38 citations)

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

  • Mechanics
  • Fluid dynamics
  • Aerodynamics

William S. Saric mainly investigates Mechanics, Reynolds number, Boundary layer, Swept wing and Laminar flow. Vortex and Angle of attack are the subjects of his Mechanics studies. He has included themes like Leading edge, Aerodynamics and Wing in his Reynolds number study.

His Boundary layer research incorporates themes from Instability, Mach number, Wind tunnel and Optics. His work deals with themes such as Acoustics, Static pressure and Infrared, Thermography, which intersect with Swept wing. His Laminar flow study incorporates themes from Surface finish, Turbulence, Flight test and Transonic.
