The activities of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies are reviewed for 1990-1991. After presenting the biographies of the Institute's academic staff, the facilities available for experimental research are briefly described, including the Aeroacoustics Laboratory, air cushion test facilities, the flexible spacecraft simulator, shock tubes, wind tunnel, and other laboratories. Research projects are then described in the areas of flight mechanics and simulation, air cushion technology, low-speed aerodynamics, nonstationary flows and shock waves, nonstationary gas dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, aeroacoustics, combustion, propulsion, hypersonic aerodynamics, structural mechanics and advanced composite materials, materials processing in space, space robotics, space dynamics and control, applied mass spectroscopy, fusion energy, fiber optic sensors, and smart structures.
