Objective: Fill the gap between fundamental and applied research
Design and perform high level experiments in fluids, using state of the art instrumentation, to further understand the fundamentals, address a large variety of challenging industrial issues and ensure high level education.
Ongoing investigations involve physical aspects and industrial applications of cavitation phenomenon, fluid-structure interaction, flow induced vibration and noise, skin friction reduction, high speed centrifugal pumps, pump turbines, hydrodynamic of high speed sailing boats, mixing issues in orbitally shaken bioreactors, hemodynamic of brain aneurysms, ...
