Research Projects & Areas of Interest

Francesco carries out basic and applied research in the fields of Computational Aeroelasticity (CA) and Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in turbomachines. His main interest is in the development of 3D CA/CAA/CFD time-linearized and/or non-linear inviscid/viscous solvers and their application to turbomachinery analysis. He is also focused on the optimization of parallel computational solvers on multi-core/multi-CPU High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms and on GPU-equipped platforms.
