My research field is thermo-fluid-dynamics, with focus on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applied to engineering problems, by means of Ansys-Fluent and OpenFOAM. In particular, the research interests span from micro-scale fluid-dynamics (single-phase and two-phase flows in micro-channels) to macro-scale fluid-dynamics and heat transfer (aerodynamics of vehicles, thermal comfort inside the vehicle cabin, fluid dynamics phenomena in urban environment, street canyon). The research is in the framework of national and international collaborations, funded by regional or European funds, with the aim of applying CFD to fluid-dynamics and heat transfer problems in different engineering applications.
