Contra-rotating propellers aim at improved performance, in comparison with the conventional design of isolated propellers.

The present involves numerical simulations of a capsule and supersonic parachute re-entering the Martian atmosphere at supersonic regimes using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) coupled with a wall-model to describe the near-wall dynamics.

Despite the leading role of Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) in wall turbulence research, several fundamental questions still stand.

A recent model of terrestrial planet formation relies on a gas pressure maximum ring near Venus’ orbit that results in convergent migration of planetary embryos.

QCD is the fundamental quantum field theory that describes the strong interactions between particles. It is one of the basic building blocks of the Standard Model of Particle Physics and it is responsible for the formation of nuclear matter.

Drug cardiotoxicity is a major health issue due to the need to develop new safe and efficient drugs in a fast manner.

The urgent need for decarbonisation of the steel manufacturing sector has made hydrogen-based technologies an important prospective element of the envisioned low-carbon energy systems.

Atomic nuclei constitute more than 99% of visible matter. Thus, an accurate description of nuclear systems is central to our understanding of the universe.

This project focuses on investigating the fundamental aspects of hydrogen turbulent combustion.
