Di Mare Luca

Dr. Luca Di Mare is an Associate Professor of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Engineering Science Department. His research focuses on gas turbines, computational geometry, computational fluid dynamics, grid generation, and structural analysis. He leads experimental and numerical research in turbulence modelling in compressors at the Whittle Laboratory, where he is a Visiting Academic. His group develops Virtual Engine software, which is considered a candidate component for Engineering Systems for Rolls-Royce plc. Dr. Di Mare was previously at Imperial College London, where he led the Whole Engine Modelling Group in the Vibration University Technology Centre sponsored by Rolls-Royce plc.

Luca di Mare is an Associate Professor at the University of Oxford, specializing in Fluid mechanics and numerical analysis. His research focuses on the simulation and analysis of complex fluid dynamics phenomena, including turbulent flows, gas turbine behavior, and aerodynamic instabilities. He has conducted studies on synthetic turbulence inflow conditions, large-eddy simulation, and particle impact behavior in gas turbines. His work also addresses computational challenges in unstructured CFD codes and the simulation of multistage compressors under off-design conditions. Additionally, he investigates the effects of pressure on polybutene flow and the aerodynamic parameters influencing low-pressure turbine flutter.
