I am currently working on the Marie Sklodowska-Curie project THANAFSI "Theoretical Analysis of Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems and Applications" (G.A. 101109475) funded by the European Union within the research programme Horizon Europe.
Goal of the project
The THANAFSI project aims to improve the understanding of infrastructures of current global interest through the mathematical analysis of two fluid-structure interaction problems: the stability of suspension bridges under the action of the wind, the impact of ocean waves on oscillating water columns (OWCs). In civil engineering, a full comprehension of the interaction between suspension bridges and wind, that may generate oscillations of the deck, is needed to prevent collapse and design reliable structures. The project will consider nonlinearity and asymmetry to improve the understanding of the interaction. In coastal engineering, the efficiency of wave energy converters is a topic of primary interest. In OWCs waves arrive from the offshore, pass below a partially-immersed fixed structure, enter a chamber and force the air inside through a hole where a turbine is activated. The project will consider nonlinear and dispersive effects in the interaction and advance the mathematical knowledge of OWCs, crucial to increase their energy efficiency.
