The students will have the opportunity to improve their knowledge on some specific topics that are generally not treated in depth in basic courses of fluid mechanics, such as turbulence and non-Newtonian fluids, with a special focus on energy engineering applications. A significant part of the course, taught in collaboration with prof. Maurizio Righetti, will be devoted to the explanation and utilization of advanced measuring methods used for fluid mechanics applications in laboratory and on field. In this way the candidates will acquire the competences necessary in order to design and carry out experimental measures on fluids within their research activity.
