Biography
Prof. Adams's (1963) research focuses on the modeling of transitional and turbulent flows, fluid-structure interaction, microfluidics, multiphase flows and numerical methods, as well as experimental and numerical investigations in the fields of automotive aerodynamics, aircraft aerodynamics, high-speed aerodynamics and the environment and sports equipment aerodynamics. After studying aerospace engineering at the University of Stuttgart and his PhD at the TUM (1993), Prof. Adams received a two-year postdoctoral fellowship from Stanford University and the NASA Ames Research Center. In 1999 Prof. Adams qualified as a lecturer at the ETH Zurich, where he worked as a lecturer until 2002, then joined the TU Dresden as a professor of flow mechanics and magnetofluid dynamics. Professor Adams has been Professor of the Department of Aerodynamics and Flow Mechanics at TUM since 2004. Prof. Adams is the spokesman of SFB Transregio TRR 40. He is the author of a monograph on the large-eddy simulation and executive editor of J. Comput. Phys.
