Present position: Fixed-term researcher (A-type) in Fluid Dynamics (SSD ING-IND/06) at Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences, University of Bergamo
Research interests: • Implementation of implicit and explicit high order time integration schemes in a Discontinuous Galerkin finite element solver. • Development of adaptive timestep techniques for both compressible and incompressible unsteady turbulent flows. • Development of algorithms for the efficiency enhancement of linear and nonlinear system solvers, e.g. quasi-Newton method and Generalized Minimal Residual method. • Development of novel Riemann solvers for incompressible flows of one or more immiscible components. • Solution of turbulent flows at moderate and moderate-to-high Reynolds numbers characterized by separation of the boundary layer using RANS solutions, I(mplicit)-LES and under-resolved DNS
Research projects: • HiFi-TURB (2019-2022, H2020) Use of DNS simulations and artificial intelligence for the improvement of turbulence models. • Dropit (2017-2025) Droplet interaction technologies. Droplet-Droplet, Droplet-Liquid, Droplet-Solid dynamics. • Tilda (2015-2018, Horizon2020) Towards Industrial LES and DNS in aeronautics. Development and assessment of high order and highly scalable CFD methods for large eddy simulation for practical aeronautic flows.
