Rate My Professor Tristan Vanyai

Vanyai has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications advancing hypersonic research. Key works include 'The overestimation of O radicals in shock tunnel test flows and its effect on supersonic combustion' (2025, Aerospace Science and Technology), 'A supercritical ethylene fuel injection system for the T4 hypersonic test facility' (2025, Aerospace Science and Technology), 'Supersonic boundary-layer combustion of hydrogen with porous and multi-porthole injector array injection' (2025, AIAA Journal), 'The effect of leading edge bluntness on scramjet performance' (2024, Aerospace Science and Technology), 'OH visualization of ethylene combustion modes in the exhaust of a fundamental, supersonic combustor' (2021, Combustion and Flame), 'Thermal compression effects within a fundamental, hydrogen-fuelled scramjet' (2021, Aerospace Science and Technology), and 'Fundamental scramjet combustion experiments using hydrocarbon fuel' (2019, Journal of Propulsion and Power). His research receives funding from the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research (2025-2029), ARC Discovery Projects (2025-2028), and others. Vanyai supervises PhD students on topics including thermal compression scramjet performance, supercritical ethylene injection, and access-to-space propulsion systems. He teaches courses such as ENGG4552 and AERO4200.
