UTSA EID professors Adel Alaeddini and Kiran Bhaganagar partner with U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard
UTSA researchers develop models designed to improve success of water rescues
Mechanical engineering professors Adel Alaeddini and Kiran Bhaganagar in UTSA’s Margie and Bill Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design are partnering with the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard to study object interactions in open water. Their research, funded by a three-year, $350,000 grant, allows the team to examine the way natural forces such as tides, waves and wind impact the movement of objects in a body of water.
