PHILOFLUID sito di gruppo di ricerca, webhosting del Politecnico di Torino

PHILOFLUID Research Group website at the Politecnico di Torino describes the group research activity in a wide range of topics related to: turbulent flows, stratified fluid fields, hydrodynamic stability and collective behaviour of travelling waves in sheared flows, numerical and laboratory simulation of hypersonic jets, astropysics in the laboratory: mid-term stellar jets simulation, analysis of data on solar wind and related magnetic field. A few related applications are: subgrid scale (LES, SGS) modelling, turbulent mixing, dynamics of cloud-clear air interfaces, energy transport by travelling waves in microchannels, wall and wake flows, under-expanded jets, collimation of astrophysical jets as seen in an Earth laboratory under partial physical similitude. The research activities are performed in collaboration with several national and international partners. We are located at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMEAS) of the Politecnico of Torino.
