Description
Carlo Salvatore Greco is an Associate Professor of Fluid Dynamics at the Department of Industrial Engineering, Università di Napoli "Federico II". He earned his Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2011 and was awarded a Ph.D. in 2015. In 2016, he joined the University of Naples as a staff researcher. His research focuses on Flow Control, Heat Transfer, and Aerodynamics, utilizing both experimental techniques and numerical simulations. His work is documented in over 30 publications, many of which have appeared in leading international journals such as Aerospace Science and Technology, AIAA Journal, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, and International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer. He has collaborated with several international research teams within funded programs and is currently leading two scientific projects funded by the Italian Ministry of Research. Since 2013, he has been a member of the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer Scientific Committee and the Scientific Advisory Board of the Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal.
Thermal Problems in Fluid Dynamics
This short course reviews the evolution of infrared (IR) thermography into a powerful optical diagnostic for complex fluid flows, with an emphasis on measuring surface convective heat fluxes and investigating surface flow-field behavior. The course analyzes steady and unsteady heated thin foil and thin film sensors in various applications, including thermal management with cooling jets, laminar-to-turbulent boundary-layer transition studies, and boundary-layer behavior on propellers. Hands-on examples and case studies will demonstrate how to integrate IR thermography with heat-flux sensors to produce spatially and temporally resolved convective heat-flux maps. The course is aimed at researchers and engineers seeking advanced thermal diagnostics for fluid-flow research.
