Background

About Alberto Cuoci

My main scientific interests are in the field of numerical modeling of reactive flows with detailed kinetics, with special emphasis on emissions of pollutants (NOx and soot) from combustion devices. During my research activity, I have especially developed skills and expertise on numerical methods/techniques for including detailed chemistry in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). I am currently working on the development of a general framework for numerical simulations of reacting systems with complex chemistry, adopted by many academic research groups. I am also interested in the multiscale analysis of catalytic processes and numerical modeling of heterogeneous catalytic reactors. In this context, I am actively involved in the development of catalyticFOAM a CFD code specifically conceived for the simulation of catalytic reactors with microkinetic description of surface reactivity.
