Prof. Martin Wosnik joined the Mechanical Engineering faculty in the spring of 2008. Before joining the UNH Mechanical Engineering faculty, he worked as Assistant Research Professor in the Thermo and Fluid Dynamics Section at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, then as Research Associate at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory at the University of Minnesota. Before coming to New Hampshire, Prof. Wosnik was Senior Flow Engineer at Alden Research Laboratory in Massachusetts, a national flow engineering firm conducting a wide variety of hydraulic studies for electric power utilities, architect-engineering firms, equipment manufacturers, and governmental agencies.
Prof. Wosnikâs research interests are in the area of fluid and thermal sciences with an emphasis on renewable energy applications, including ocean renewable energy (tidal, wave, wind), turbulent flows, high-speed hydrodynamics, cavitation, flow measurement and hydraulic modeling.
Prof. Wosnik teaches courses in the fluid and thermal sciences area, including: ME 705 Thermal Energy Systems - Analysis and Design, ME 706/806 Physical and Engineering Principles of Renewable Energy, ME 795/895 Experimental Fluid Dynamics, ME 906 Convection Heat Transfer, ME 995 Special Topics in Fluid Mechanics.
