FRANCESCO SERAFINI
Research interests
My research mainly concerns turbulence and polymer dynamics of dilute polymer solutions.
I perform Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of turbulent wall-bounded flows.
Other topics: Drag reduction in turbulent wall bounded flows, Turbulent flows over superhydrophobic surfaces.
