In his thesis “Goal driven multi-objective shape optimization for conjugate heat transfer in an effusion cooling system of a combustion chamber, through a CFD-mesh-morphing based approach” Walter Savastano conducted numerical investigations to optimize the effectiveness of full coverage effusion cooling through computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The study examined the impact of hole density and injection […]

We are proud to be featured in the Futurities Summer Issue with the Copernicus project, a cloud-based HPC platform to support systemic-pulmonary shunting procedures. Copernicus aims to set up an affordable decision support web application that allows surgeons approaching the Modified Blalock Taussig Shunt (mBTS) medical intervention at best.

We are in Genoa for the AIAS 2023 Conference, the most important event in the scientific field of ING-IND/14. The Italian Scientific Society of Mechanical Design and Machine Construction offers a unique opportunity – from September 6th to 9th – to connect with colleagues and experts in the field, discuss the latest trends and developments, […]

ITER is an ambitious global energy project that aims to demonstrate fusion feasibility and achieve net energy production. Design requirements and stringent tolerances of the machine drive industries to higher quality standards. Digital Twin methodologies can provide valuable information for decision-making and risk management during manufacturing. In this PhD thesis by Edoardo Pompa, a workflow of […]

In his thesis titled “Structural Analysis of the Hub of a Rental Kart and Optimization through Mesh Morphing” Lorenzo Mazzaferro collaborated with one of the leading companies in Kart production, CRG. This company boasts an impressive clientele, including renowned Formula 1 drivers such as Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton. Lorenzo was tasked by CRG to […]

The thesis “Fluid dynamics of exhaust manifolds for internal combustion engines. Analysis and optimization of geometry through a numerical approach based on a mesh morphing algorithm’ by Walter Savastano focuses on the parametric analysis of a manifold exhaust system for a four-cylinder internal combustion engine using a model provided by Ansys UK. The goal was […]

In his thesis titled “Frontal impact performance optimization of an automotive hood through explicit finite element simulations and mesh morphing” presented at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Manuel Volponi focused on crash design for the bonnet of a pick-up truck. While the geometry of the vehicle was known, previous studies conducted on the bonnet […]

The HB 2023 conference, held from 11th to 14th June in Aachen, Germany, brought together leading experts in sustainable solutions for a healthy indoor environment. Notably, Giovanna Gargiulo, in collaboration with the University of Rome Tor Vergata and the National Institute of Health in Rome, presented her groundbreaking academic work on ‘A Digital Twin of […]

The purpose of Daniela Sorani’s thesis ‘Aerodynamic optimization of a motorglider using mesh-morphing’ was to reduce the boundary layer separation on the root of the upper surface of the Taurus (a motorglider by Pipistrel d.o.o Ajdovščina) by a modification on the fairing using mesh morphing tools. This modification improved the aerodynamics performance of the airplane. […]
