It is a team of researchers employed in research activities related to various contents of Aerodynamics and Fluid Dynamics. Team members pertain to Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale.
The research group is involved in both theoretical and applied aerodynamics research fields. Aircraft aerodynamics, rotary wing and wind turbine aerodynamics are the macro contents where the group is performing its research activity. In particular, it is mainly focused on theoretical and computational aerodynamic forces prediction and breakdown, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for fixed and moving aerodynamic bodies, turbulence modeling for CFD, and panel methods for fixed and moving aerodynamic bodies. The team develops in house CFD codes and also employs other parties’ software for aerodynamic and fluid dynamic calculations. Research activities are documented by scientific papers published on the most relevant international scientific journals devoted to Fluid Dynamics and Aerospace Engineering. The team is engaged in a number of H2020 EU funded research programs, in particular in the frame of Clean Sky 2 Research program and cooperates with Leonardo Company, ONERA and JAXA (the French and Japanese aerospace labs).
