In this article, I introduce ideas and techniques to extract information about the equation of
state of matter at very high densities from gravitational waves emitted before, during and …

This article reviews recent advances in the understanding of turbulent flows of non-ideal
gases through the use of high-fidelity direct and large eddy simulations. In particular, the …

Boundary layers of Novec649, a low-global-warming potential fluid of interest for low-grade
heat recovery, are investigated numerically by means of linear stability theory, direct …

There is a growing interest in organic Rankine cycle turbogenerators because of their ability
to efficiently utilize external heat sources at low-to-medium temperature in the small-to …

The influence of dense-gas effects on compressible wall-bounded turbulence is investigated
by means of direct numerical simulations of supersonic turbulent channel flows. Results are …

There is a growing interest in organic Rankine cycle (ORC) turbogenerators because they
are suitable as sustainable energy converters. ORC turbogenerators can efficiently utilize …

A novel blow-down wind tunnel is currently being commissioned at the Politecnico di Milano,
Italy, to investigate real-gas behavior of organic fluids operating at subsonic-supersonic …

Bethe–Zel'dovich–Thompson fluids (BZT) are characterized by negative values of the
fundamental derivative of gasdynamics for a range of temperatures and pressures in the …

In this paper, we investigate the real gas flows which occur within organic Rankine cycle
(ORC) turbines. A new method for the design of nozzles operating with dense gases is …

A blow-down wind tunnel for real-gas applications has been designed, validated by means
of dynamic simulation, and then built. The facility is aimed at characterizing an organic vapor …
