Research Projects & Areas of Interest
Francesco carries out basic and applied research in the fields of Computational Aeroelasticity (CA) and Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) in axial turbomachines. His main interest is in the development of 2D/3D CA and CAA time-linearized and/or non-linear inviscid/viscous solvers and their application to blade flutter and tone noise analysis.
