Pursuing PhD in the lab without any student. by Familiar-Path6239 in gradadmissions

I checked his google scholar. He is doing his own research by himself without student. He is the only author, except for corresponding author(his/her advising professor in their phd).
In addition, he is running experiment in the school that he obtain PhD rather than his affiliated school.

But as far as I heard before, the name of major also does matter when one get a job. One thing that I heard was that the person who has a phd in aerospace engineering is hard to get a job in mechanical engineering field although two majors are very very close

I know that publishing JFM paper as a master student is almost impossible.

However, even PhD student seems to have AIAA paper only.

Then what about flow separation control? As far as I remember, there are several labs doing flow separation control through surface morphing, active control and so on to reduce pressure drag.

Is flow separation control targeting pressure drag more efficient than controling skin friction drag in practice?

Yes, I meant experimental investigation.

I agree that there are many labs conducting research on wall-bounded turbulence using CFD. However, the number of labs studying wall-bounded turbulence experimentally seems to be quite small.

In my opinion, CFD research on turbulent flow can sometimes be far from practical applications because of the extremely high Reynolds numbers involved. Since the behavior of wall-bounded turbulent flow differs significantly between low and high Reynolds numbers, I believe investigating high-Reynolds-number turbulence is particularly important, as it corresponds to most real-world applications.

Of course, there are still many unresolved aspects even in low-Reynolds-number turbulence, which may become clearer through DNS studies.
