Biography

Daley Wylie is a MS student in the Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech. She received a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering and a minor in Russian from The University of Texas at Austin. Her research interests are experimental and computational evaluation of rotor–rotor aerodynamic interactions.

In her free time, Daley enjoys cross-stitching, reading, painting, hanging out with friends, and obsessing about the Georgia Tech volleyball team.

Research

Daley is working on the experimental and computational investigation of multirotor aerodynamic interactions. Specifically, she is examining the effects of these interactions on the performance metrics of the individual rotors and of the overall vehicle. She uses experimental data obtained from experiments performed in Georgia Tech’s John J. Harper Wind Tunnel in conjunction with computational data from an advanced adaptive Cartesian grid-based CFD solver suited to flow prediction over complicated real-life configurations. She focuses on various multirotor configurations, including tandem and quad rotors.
