Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

Principal interests lie in the areas of aerodynamics, flow structure, aeroacoustics and flow control, with application areas being aerospace engineering, wind engineering and sports aerodynamics.

Richard Kelso has a BE(Mechanical) and PhD (Fluid Mechanics) from the University of Melbourne. Prior to joining the University of Adelaide in 1995, he worked at CSIRO, DSTO and Princeton University as well as two private engineering companies. Kelso is a leading researcher into the mechanics of shear flows, with his publications on transverse jets alone having more than 1,000 citations. His principal interests lie in the areas of flow structure and control, with application areas being aerospace engineering, wind engineering and sports aerodynamics. Kelso actively consults and collaborates with industry on projects from dust mitigation and combustion system design to cycling aerodynamics. He is currently the University of Adelaide representative on the Standards Australia EL-048 Wind Turbine Systems panel and the national member of the International Electrotechnical Commission TC88 MT2 subcommittee.  Notable recent achievements include his aerodynamic design of the Cadence Plus and Split Plus cycling helmets with Scott Sports, the Mistral cycling helmet with Cycling Australia and Kask, and the AeroNode low-drag technology used by Pinarello.

Please note that he is not accepting any new Masters or PhD students at this time except where advertised on the Adelaide University web site.
