Lorenzo Pinelli
 | PostDocDepartment of Industrial Engineering
|
Lorenzo studied at the University of Florence where he graduated in Mechanical Engineering in 2007. He undertook his postgraduated studies at Florence in the Department of Energy Engineering and got his PhD in December 2010. Since then, Lorenzo has been a research fellow at the Traf Group.
Research Projects & Areas Of Interest
Lorenzo's research is largely concerned with computational aeroelasticity and aeroacoustics in axial turbomachines. His principal interests are in the development of 2D/3D CA non-linear inviscid/viscous solver and, more recently, in the implementation of a tone noise propagation strategy in multi-stage turbomachines. Such methods are employed in blade flutter and tone noise analysis.
European Projects
Lorenzo is involved in the following European Community Research Projects:
- DREAM (Validation of Radical Engine Architecture Systems, 2008-2011)
- FUTURE (Flutter-Free Turbomachinery Blades, 2008-2012)
