Main research interests/activities:
Laboratory activities:
- Plasma-neutral gas flow interactions, systems for gas ionization and plasma generation, flow control and ionic propulsion, with low environmental impact applications (pat.polimi.it ↗).
- Drag reduction techniques in fluid mechanics, with aeronautical applications.
- Bluff body wakes, interaction of wakes, wind engineering applications, design of wind tunnel components.
- Measurements in rarefied gases; low pressure and vacuum systems technology.
- Long scale evolution of free hypersonic jets, with applications to the gasdynamics of astrophysical flows.
- Design and development of electronic and mechanical devices and facilities for laboratory measurements.
Theoretical studies dealing with semi-analytic methods, asymptotic and multiscale methods:
- Scaling models for ionic propulsion in atmosphere.
- Drag reduction models in fluid mechanics.
- Instabilities at low Reynolds numbers.
