I am the author of over a hundred technical papers on various aspects of aeronautics - ranging from theoretical analysis to practical applications, and from vortex-dominated flows at low Mach number, to rotorcraft, to high-speed chemically-reacting flows on hypersonic vehicles.

Below is a reasonably comprehensive listing of those papers that are available in the open academic literature. Since 2016 most of my technical output has been in the form of confidential company reports which for obvious reasons cannot be distributed. As time progresses, however, I hope to create a repository of new aerodynamic information and original articles that will be useful to the community at large.

The beginnings of this repository can be found by following the "articles" tab in the menu at the top of this page.
