Biography

Gianluca Blois, 是365滚球官网机械工程系实验流体动力学领域的助理教授. He is currently located on the Boise campus in the Center for Ecohydraulics Research.

Blois completed his doctoral studies in Milan, at the Politecnico di Milano in 2007. Afterwards, he worked at the University of Birmingham, UK, 随后在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校担任水文系统实验室和湍流与复杂流动实验室(LTCF)的成员. 2015年,Blois加入圣母大学航空航天与机械工程系.

布洛瓦的研究探索了流动物理和环境过程的交叉点,并专注于一系列自然系统和工程应用中的湍流和多相现象. 他的研究组合主要受到具有复杂边界和界面的地质和生物系统的启发. Research areas of interest include: 1) turbulent boundary layer structure, modifications, modulation, and exchange mechanisms across permeable walls, with implications on hyporheic flows, sediment transport, and biofilms; 2) flow interactions and coupling with complex topographies that form and evolve in both aeolian and subaqueous natural environments with emphasis on 3D bedforms and craters; 3) pore-scale transient interfacial phenomena in immiscible multi-phase flow within heterogeneous porous structures with application to CO2 sequestration and EOR; 4) flow-plant coupling of semi-rigid aquatic vegetation in riparian environments; 5) fluid-structure interactions and surface manipulation of bluff bodies central to drag and lift control/reduction; 6)~biofluids with focus on compliant cardiovascular systems

所有这些研究工作的核心是开发和利用新方法,使先进的流体诊断能够进入其他难以进入的流体领域.
