On July 28th of 2002, Professor Pino Martin founded the CRoCCo Laboratory in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Princeton University. Her motivation to establish the laboratory centered on bridging the gap between basic knowledge and predictive capabilities for turbulent flows in the hypersonic regime. Since then, the research in the CRoCCo Laboratory has grown to include theory, simulation and collaboration with experimentalists to develop a basic understanding of the physics behind the interaction of turbulence with shock waves, finite-rate reactions, surface catalysis and ablation, and radiation, while establishing an open database of traceable, standardized hypersonic turbulent flows.
