Research carried out by Bruno Dias on meteor modeling

Here is a new video of the research carried out by Bruno Dias on meteor modeling in the framework of his PhD completed at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics and the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium. His thesis is entitled: "Thermal ablation and radiation modeling of meteor phenomena".

The von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamucs (VKI) is a non-profit international educational and scientific organisation, hosting three departments (aeronautics and aerospace, environmental and applied fluid dynamics, and turbomachinery & propulsion). It provides post-graduate education in fluid dynamics (research master in fluid dynamics, former "VKI Diploma Course", doctoral program, short training program and lecture series) and encourages "training in research through research". The von Karman Institute undertakes and promotes research in the field of fluid dynamics. Extensive research on experimental, computational and theoretical aspects of gas and liquid flows is carried out at the VKI under the direction of the faculty and research engineers, sponsored mainly by governmental and international agencies as well as industries.
