About the author

Doyle D. Knight is Distinguished Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at Rutgers University, New Jersey. His research interests include gas dynamics and design optimization. His research in gas dynamics includes shock wave boundary layer interaction, incipient separation on pitching airfoils, turbulence model development, high speed inlet unstart and effects of unsteady energy deposition in supersonic flows. His research activity in design optimization focuses on the application of computational fluid dynamics to the automated optimal design of high speed air vehicles. He is the author of Elements of Numerical Methods for Compressible Flows (Cambridge, 2006).
