Our research group focuses on advanced studies in fluid dynamics and addresses important challenges in areas such as turbulence, stratified fluid fields, hydrodynamic stability and the collective behavior of traveling waves in shear flows. We also perform state-of-the-art numerical and laboratory simulations of hypersonic jets and pioneer work in astrophysics, particularly in the mid-term simulation of stellar jets in the laboratory and in the analysis of solar wind data and associated magnetic fields.

Our research has a wide range of applications, including subgrid modeling (LES, SGS), turbulent mixing, interfacial dynamics between clouds and clear air, energy transport by traveling waves in microchannels, and studies of wall and wake flows, underexpanded jets, and astrophysical jet collimation under partial physical simulation in Earth-based laboratories.

In collaboration with several national and international partners, we push the boundaries of fluid dynamics and astrophysical research. Our group is based at the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) of the Politecnico di Torino, where we have developed several proprietary CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) codes.

These codes are available for Open Access on our website, with our recently updated Software Download pages now fully operational.
