معرفی
Luigi Martinelli is a Professor at Princeton University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, specifically affiliated with the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. from Princeton (1987) and has been a faculty member since 1994, teaching courses in Aerodynamics, Applied and Computational Mathematics, and Design.
- Ph.D., Princeton University, 1987
- Undergraduate, Politecnico di Milano, Aeronautical Engineering
His research focuses on Fluid Mechanics, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Shape Optimization, with applications to aerospace, biomedical devices, and renewable energy systems. He has pioneered multigrid methods for viscous conservation laws and shape optimization techniques using Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations.
Recent publications span 2024–2025, combining CFD advancements (e.g., high-order methods for Euler equations, molecular gas dynamics) and biomedical applications (e.g., biliary stent removal, asthma anthropometry). Collaborations include medical research cohorts (SANI registry, TreC study) and aerospace/energy projects.
Scientific Awards:
- 2003 Graduate Mentoring Award, McGraw Center, Princeton
Martinelli collaborates internationally, with affiliations at institutions in Italy (Ist. di Gasdinamica, Dip. di Energetica). His work bridges engineering design and applied clinical research, emphasizing fluid dynamics in both domains. He actively develops next-generation CFD solvers and has contributed to industry standards for transonic aircraft design.
