About
Massimo Rundo is an Associate Professor at the Polytechnic of Turin's Department of Energy (DENERG) and coordinator of the Fluid Power Research Laboratory (FPRL). With over 70 Scopus-indexed publications, his work focuses on modeling, simulation, and experimental validation of fluid power systems.
Research Interests:
- Positive displacement pumps (gerotor, gear, vane, piston)
- Hydraulic valves (flow forces, pressure control)
- Mobile hydraulics (excavators, telehandlers)
- CFD and lumped parameter modeling
- Incomplete filling phenomena at high speeds
Recent Publications analyze flow dynamics in pumps, vibration-based fault detection, and energy-efficient hydraulic architectures through 1D/3D simulations. He has coordinated industry-funded projects with companies like Casappa and Pierburg Pump Technology.
Honors:
- MDPI Energies Editor's Choice (2018)
- SAE Excellence in Oral Presentation (2004)
- SAE Certificate of Appreciation (2000)
Rundo teaches graduate courses in Mobile and Industrial Fluid Power and advises master's theses, while serving as Associate Editor for the International Journal of Fluid Power and committee member for major conferences including ASME/BATH Symposium and International Maha Fluid Power Conference.
