Research interest
Prof. Fabio Inzoli has achieved both a PhD in Energetic and a Mechanical Engineering MSc at
Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI). He is Professor in Thermodynamics, Heat transfer and Applied
CFD at the Department of Energy. From the beginning his research interests were in
Computational Fluid Dynamics related to the bioengineering sector (hemodynamics, heart-lung
machine, artificial heart).
His current areas of interest is related to heat transfer in multiphase flows, combustion
phenomenon in confined environment, and power plant flue gas cleaning.
He is author of more than 90 scientific papers published on international journal or presented in
national and international conferences. He started setting up in 2001 a research group on CFD
which is currently focused on the development and implementation of Non Linear Eddy Viscosity
turbulence models applied to the design of complex and innovative power plant devices.
The know-how is focus on numerical methodology able to detail the heat transfer and the emission
due to the reactive phenomena.
He is author of more than 140 scientific papers published on international journals or presented in
national and international conferences. He started in 2001 a research group on CFD which is
currently focused on turbulence modeling and multiphase flow.
Technology transfer
Team leader of research programs in energy field supported by companies as Nooter Eriksen,
STF, eni, Redecam group.
