Luigi Fraccarollo

Luigi Fraccarollo is an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, University of Trento. His expertise spans hydraulic engineering, fluid mechanics, and sediment transport, with a focus on theoretical, numerical, and experimental approaches.

• Specializes in two-phase flow modeling, sediment dynamics, and granular rheology
• Active in environmental monitoring using freshwater mussels as biological indicators
• Contributor to dam-break flood analysis, reservoir sedimentation, and hydrodynamic stressor detection

Research Trends

His recent publications emphasize multi-scale modeling, entropy-based flow estimation, and real-time biomonitoring systems for aquatic ecosystems. Collaborative work includes medical fluid dynamics applications in FFR prediction and granular transport in industrial and natural settings.

Projects & Collaborations

• Participated in European projects: Eroslope, Tharmit, DFR (Debris Flow Risk), IMPACT
• Currently involved in IRASMOS (2005–present)
• Focus on experimental validation of numerical models for sediment transport and dam-break events
