Pietro Salizzoni

Pietro Salizzoni is a Researcher at Ecole Centrale de Lyon, affiliated with the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Fluides et d’Acoustique (LMFA - UMR 5509). His research focuses on Complex Fluids and Transfers within the Fluid Dynamics and Environmental Engineering domains. He specializes in experimental and numerical studies of fluid mechanics phenomena, particularly in urban environments, pollutant dispersion, and turbulent flow dynamics.

Key research interests include: urban air quality, atmospheric dispersion modeling, wind tunnel experiments, environmental fluid dynamics, and the impact of urban morphology on climate and pollution. His work integrates advanced measurement techniques like PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry), PDA (Phase Doppler Anemometry), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Recent projects involve studying the effects of vegetation on urban street canyon ventilation, dispersion of heavy gases in turbulent boundary layers, and long-term health impacts of air pollution exposure.

Salizzoni’s contributions span interdisciplinary collaborations addressing societal challenges such as climate change mitigation, public health risks from pollutants, and sustainable urban design. His experimental setups often utilize LMFA’s advanced instrumentation platforms, including laser imaging and aerodynamic facilities.
