Mitor 2015-2016Spectral Analysis of the Solar Wind beyond the Termination shock - Interstellar Medium/Heliosphere InteractionsThe solar wind fills the heliosphere surrounding the Sun with a supersonic flow of magnetized plasma. At the border of the heliosphere, after the termination shock, the solar wind meets the...
NASA ROSES 2015Title: Spectral analysis of the plasma and magnetic fields at the edge of the heliosphere using Voyager dataPartners:Politecnico di TorinoMIT Kavli Institute (J.Richardson)Boston University (M.Opher)We propose to characterize the turbulence in the solar wind, heliosheath, and local interstellar medium. We are developing an advanced spectral...
Proposal - Scientific Collaboration Italy-Israel 2014Study and optimization of turbulent mixing processes to enhance microalgae growth for bioethanol productionScientific Cooperation Italy-Israele, 3rd callIsrael: Tel Aviv University (A.Liberzon),Italy: Politecnico di Torino (D.Tordella), Università di Catania (M.Gennari).With respect to plant crop derived bio-fuels, algae are currently considered as the...
Laboratory Simulation Of Planet-Solar Wind And Interstellar Medium/Heliosphere InteractionsObservations show that when the solar wind runs into a magnetosphere or the local interstellar medium runs into the heliosphere, asymmetries in the flow and obstacle (structure of the bow shock and magnetopause) result. We propose a...
Lagrange Project PhD Fellowship 2011-2013To what extent spectra of turbulent flows are linked to the nonlinear interaction among their different modes?Why the project belongs to the complex system researchTurbulence is historically known as one of the archetype of the complex system research.In particular, turbulent flows...
Mitor 2012-2013Laboratory simulation of planet-solar wind and interstellar medium/heliosphere interactionWe will investgate if a small scale laboratory experiment on the solar wind interaction with a planetary magnetosphere could be attempted in the low energy laboratory facility at Torino and Milan Politecnics, where a recent 2010-2012...
