The Meadow Aerodynamics lab was established in the mid 70’s by Prof. I. Wygnanski. It was headed by Prof. Avi Seifert (RIP) untill 2023, a lab graduate. The lab is one of the world leading facilities in studying the uses of Active Flow Control (AFC) for applications in aerodynamic vehicles. The lab boasts a variety of low-speed wind tunnels which are designed to specialize in AFC research.
The lab personnel holds many patents and maintains extensive national and international collaboration with academia, research institutes, and industry. The lab focuses in activities related to aerodynamic aspects of energy efficiency and environmental footprint.
Low speed wind tunnel tests are used to study state of the art techniques to enhance aerodynamic performance.
Development of active flow control actuators using advanced manufacturing and measurements tools.
Improving energy consumption of vehicles on land, in air, and in water.

In memory of
Professor Avraham (Avi) Seifert
1959 - 2023
Professor Avraham (Avi) Seifert has led the lab for more than 30 years. During those years he has conducted groundbreaking research in the field of active flow control which made him a world-renowned expert in this field. Avi has mentored generations of students which completed advanced degrees and became leaders in the industry and academy.
The lab's team have taken it upon themselves to continue in Avi’s footsteps in creating innovative research and aspire for excellence as respect for professor Seifert’s legacy.
