Studying the air flow around soccer balls is a natural extension of McKeon's research, in which she and her colleagues study how surface roughness affects air flow, using spheres as test models.

The flow field of the core engine inlet was numerically calculated to solve the problem that the air flow measured in the air simulated test facility was inconsistent with ground test.

This tunnel is, in substance, a simple air flow bench with necessary test devices offering various controlled streams for experiments.
