Battista Francesco

Battista Francesco is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, particularly turbulence modulation, polymer solutions, and multiphase flows. He employs advanced computational methods like direct numerical simulations (DNS) to study phenomena such as drag reduction mechanisms, particle-laden flows, and combustion dynamics.

His work bridges fundamental fluid mechanics with engineering applications, including the effects of superhydrophobic surfaces and elastocapillary systems. Recent studies highlight innovative approaches to turbulence control and the interplay between polymer properties and flow dynamics.
