The research activity of Ernesto Salzano is addressed to:
- Experimental and modeling analysis of accidental deflagrative and detonative combustion of solid, liquid and gases (fires, explosions);
-
Development of risk assessment methodologies for industry, with specific reference to external events (domino effects, natural events, security);
- Chemical Process Safety, including runaway reaction, kinetic models.
- New fuels: hydrogen, cryogenic fuels, oxyflames
