The von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics is a non-profit international, educational and scientific organization which is working in three specific fields: aeronautics and aerospace, environment and applied fluid dynamics, turbomachinery and propulsion. The VKI provides education in these specific areas for students from all over the world.

The von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility at Arnold Engineering Development Complex, Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee, provide aerothermal ground test simulations of hypersonic flight over a wide range of velocities and pressure altitudes.
After postdoctoral research as a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow at Imperial College London, [5] she joined the California Institute of Technology faculty in 2006. She was promoted to professor in 2011 and was named von Kármán Professor in 2017.
The von Kármán model is the preferred model of continuous gusts for the Department of Defense and the FAA. [1] [2] The model first appeared in a 1957 NACA report [13] based on earlier work by Theodore von Kármán. [14] [15] [16] In this model, the power spectral density of the longitudinal linear velocity component is
The Kármán line (or von Kármán line / v ɒ n ˈ k ɑːr m ɑː n /) [2] is a conventional definition of the edge of space; it is widely but not universally accepted. The international record-keeping body FAI (Fédération aéronautique internationale) defines the Kármán line at an altitude of 100 kilometres (54 nautical miles; 62 miles ...
The group then approached Theodore von Kármán, Caltech Professor of Aeronautics and the director of Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory (GALCIT), who was known for his unorthodox teaching and research methods. [6]: 81–83 They were able to convince von Kármán to let them use the resources of GALCIT after hours for their work. Von Kármán ...
