I received my B.Sc. degree. in Mechanical Engineering with minor in Aeronautical Engineering from Universidade de São Paulo (2003) and my M.Sc. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (2006). I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University (2011) and, then, worked as a post-doctoral researcher in the Institute of Aeronautics and Space from 2011 to 2012. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at University of Campinas. My research interests include turbulence, unsteady aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, high fidelity numerical simulation, reduced order modeling and flow control. phone: +55 19 3521 3272 e-mail: wolf@fem.unicamp.br webpage: www.fem.unicamp.br/~wolf (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Unsteady aerodynamics plays a key role in the design of more efficient and quieter aircraft, helicopters, automobiles, wind and gas turbines, industrial fans and drones. In these devices, the unsteady flows are typically turbulent and, hence, improving our understanding of turbulece is of paramount importance. As an example, through a better comprehension of unsteady aerodynamics and turb…
We propose the creation of a world-class multidisciplinary center dedicated to the development and application of advanced computational modeling techniques for the purpose of meeting the challenges in frontier problems in computational engineering and sciences, and promote substantial advancements in technological innovation, education and dissemination of knowledge in the broader area o…
This project aims to bring together the novel and complementary research capabilities of UNICAMP and UNSW to investigate the technologically challenging problem of airfoil self noise. Airfoil noise is generated by aircraft (fan blades, high lift devices), wind turbines and cooling fans, which contribute to environmental noise pollution, identified as a global health problem by the WHO. Th…

In this work, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations will be employed to simulate supersonic boundary layers over canonical streamwise-curved surfaces. Convex and concave surfaces will be investigated leading to favorable and adverse pressure gradients, respectively. Since the flows are supersonic, compression and expansion waves will be generated and, in the former scenario…
In this work, direct numerical simulations (DNS) and wall-resolved large eddy simulations (LES) will be employed to compute unsteady flows in supersonic turbine cascades. Supersonic turbines have been attracting the interest of engineers and scientists particularly because of their high specific power, which may allow a potential size and weight reduction in gas turbine engines. These com…
By leveraging the recent advancements in the application of neural network (NN) models for surrogate modeling of flows -- with successful applications to the analysis of unstable flow problems and active control in computational environments -- we propose the application of such techniques together with new approaches to bring research on the area closer to experimental applications. Real…

The study of compressible flows over airfoils is relevant for several applications including aircraft wings, gas and wind turbine blades, rotorcraft, and industrial ventilation systems. This work will combine large eddy simulations (LES) and data-driven analysis to investigate compressibility and pressure gradient effects on boundary layers developing over airfoil profiles. The high-fidel…
Through a combination of large eddy simulations (LES), operator-based and data-based analysis methods, this work will study compressible turbulent flows over airfoils. This topic is extremely relevant to the design of modern aircraft as their aerodynamic performance, while operating in turbulent flow conditions, can be significantly impacted by compressibility effects. As the Mach number …
Turbulence is characterized by unsteady perturbations and chaotic behavior. Turbulent flows also display a wide range of spatial and frequency scales. The simulation of turbulent flows requires accurate numerical schemes with minimal artificial dissipation and dispersion in order to capture the transient features of these flows. While the numerical simulations provide a detailed evolution…
