Chelsea Onyeador

Chelsea is a PhD student in aeronautics and astronautics. Her research centers on the simulation on similar and non-similar hypersonic boundary layers with temperature-varying properties.She uses MATLAB to efficiently and robustly model the evolution of hypersonic boundary layers, develop heuristics for the impact of various flow conditions such as free stream Mach number, free stream enthalpy, and surface boundary conditions (temperature or heat transfer distribution) on the behaviors of hypersonic boundary layers. She earned a BS in mechanical engineering from Stanford University and an SM in aeronautics and astronautics from MIT.
