Edward Canepa

Edward Canepa is a Researcher at the Department of Mechanical, Energy, Management and Transport Engineering (DIME) at the University of Genoa (UNIGE). He serves as a member of the Joint Teacher-Student Commission within the Polytechnic School.

• Specializes in fluid machines and marine propulsion systems
• Teaches MACHINES (code 66163) and SAILING YACHT AERO-HYDRO-DYNAMICS (code 91074)
• Conducts experimental research on fluid dynamics and propulsion efficiency

Research Focus: His work examines alternative fuels for marine propulsion, flow field analysis around ship propellers, and leakage flow characterization in axial fans. Current projects include well-to-wake environmental impact assessments and hydrodynamic performance optimization.

Publications: Recent research includes studies on unsteady leakage flows in axial fans, inclined shaft propeller dynamics, and sustainable marine fuel alternatives. His work contributes to improving propulsion efficiency and reducing environmental impact in maritime engineering.
