GIREESH YANAMASHETTI

Dr. Gireesh Yanamashetti is working as Senior Principal Scientist in National Trisonic Aerodynamic Facilities division. He was awarded Ph.D (Engg) for his work on “Control of Transonic Flow” from IIT Madras. He joined NAL in 2001. He has expertise in high speed wind tunnel testing, calibration of wind tunnel balances, balance data processing, design of balance calibration rigs and support systems. He has also worked on simulation of wind tunnel flow using CFD tools. He has carried out number of aerodynamic projects involving surface pressure measurements, force-moment measurements, flow visualization on different launch vehicle models. He has developed software for strain gauge balance data processing using state-of-the-art “Global Regression Method” using matrix methods and implemented for wind tunnel force-moment data processing.
