Research Projects

  • Development of flow management strategies.

  • Analysis of effects induced by distributed surface roughness and, in particular, role of roughness in the laminar-turbulent transition, in generation of pressure losses in micro-channels and in modifying structures in turbulent flow. Use of roughness for the development of flow management strategies.

  • Convection driven by buoyancy and by surface tension effects. Use of heating for the development of flow management strategies.

  • Topological bifurcations and moving boundary problems in flow systems. Development of strategies for management of interface rupture processes.

  • Flow phenomena driven by electric and magnetic fields. Use of these phenomena for the development of flow management strategies.

  • Development of novel energy storage concepts.

  • Development of the immersed boundary conditions method.

  • Development of spectral methods.

  • Development of accurate methods suitable for the moving boundary problems.

  • Hydrodynamic stability theory for spatially modulated flows.
