Marco Fossati

I am Reader in Computational Aerodynamics and I lead the activities in Computational Fluid Mechanics within the Aerospace Centre of Excellence. My research interests are in the field of fundamental studies of nonequilibrium high-speed flows typical of atmospheric re-entry or hypersonic regimes and in the field of reduced basis methods for the aerodynamic design of the next-generation of aircraft. I am interested in studying the physics of fluids of extreme gas dynamics, i.e. the gas dynamics of high-enthalpy flows and in formulating advanced mathematical methods to reduce the computational cost required to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. My research lives at the interesection between fluid mechanics, numerical mathematics and computational science.
