Aerospace Propulsion and Flow Diagnostic Lab
The Lab
Activities and Objectives
The research activity involves the design, modeling and experimental characterization of aerospace devices.
Experimental techniques are used as advanced laser diagnostic techniques (Stereo PIV; LDV, hotwire) and high speed VIS, UV and NIR visualizations combined to advanced decomposition techniques for cold flow and reactive flow characterization.
Furthermore, research is supported by the use of computational modeling and simulations of fluid flow, turbulence, and combustion in propulsion and energy systems.
Scientific activities have focused on: lean aeroengine combustion, plasma assisted combustion, active flow control in turbomachinery, two-phase conventional and cryogenic flows, active flow control, aeroengine modeling for performance estimation and diagnostic with machine learning techniques.
