Bibliography

Dr. Campobasso gained his Laurea in Mechanical Engineering with honours from the University of Bari (Italy) in April 1995. In 1996 he received his Postgraduate Diploma Course with honours at the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (Belgium). From July 1996 to April 1999, he worked as Development Engineer Turbomachinery at Rolls-Royce BMW, where he worked at several research and development projects regarding the aerodynamic and structural design of new aircraft engines. In May 1999 he joined the Rolls-Royce Computational Fluid Dynamics University Technology Centre at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory. Here he carried out numerous research projects focusing on the development of new computational aerodynamics methods for the analysis of turbomachinery unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity, and in December 2004 he also gained his PhD in Numerical Analysis from Oxford University. In May 2005, Dr. Campobasso joined the Department of Power, Propulsion and Aerospace Engineering of Cranfield University. Here he worked on the development of robust design optimization methods for aeronautical applications. In October 2006, he joined the University of Glasgow as Lecturer of Computational Fluid Dynamics, and he now carries out his research activities in the Computational Fluid Dynamics Group of the Systems, Power and Energy Research Division.

Research Interests

The research activities of Dr. Campobasso focus on the design, implementation and demonstration of innovative Computational Fluid Dynamics technologies aimed at improving modern engineering design. His main objectives are to develop accurate and ultra-fast high-fidelity analysis and design solvers based on the Navier-Stokes equations. Some of the his present research activities include the development of frequency-domain solvers for the rapid analysis of unsteady periodic flows and general fluid/structure interaction problems, the development of low-speed preconditioning methods for the analysis of flows featuring a large range velocity variations, the development of novel farfield boundary conditions for the analysis of the flow field in complex turbomachinery geometries, and the investigation of hybrid parallelization technologies based on the combination of shared and distributed parallel computing. The main applications Dr. Campobasso is investigating are the analysis of wind turbine unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity, and turbomachinery flows. Dr. Campobasso also develops lower fidelity methods for the rapid integrated multidisciplinary analysis and design of small wind turbines.

PhD APPLICANTS: I would welcome enquiries from potential students interested in doing research in any of the above areas.

Expertise

Dr. Campobasso has substantial expertise in the development and use of time- and frequency-domain Navier-Stokes solvers, featuring both multi-block structured and unstructured finite volume methods and using preconditioned explicit multigrid algorithms for the numerical integration. He also has expertise in the design and implementation of robust low-speed preconditioning for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, and the implementation of differential turbulence models. More recently, he is also developing expertise in lower-fidelity models such as the Blade-Element Momentum Theory for the rapid integrated design of small wind turbines. Dr. Campobasso has also expertise in the field of uncertainty propagation and robust design optimisation.
