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…
Noise regulations have become incrementally more stringent as air traffic has increased and will likely continue to do so in the future. In the last three decades, significant jet noise reduction has been achieved due to efforts on the design of more efficient and quieter engines. Since then, airframe noise associated with the unsteady flow around the aircraft has become a significant sou…

In recent years, the automotive and aeronautical industries have fostered the research and development of aircraft with distributed electric propulsion involving multiple rotors. This class of vehicles is also known as electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft and has two main applications: i) urban mobility, where eVTOLs are used to transport people autonomously or with pilo…
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…
Unsteady aerodynamic loads generated during dynamic stall play a critical role in determining both the mechanical life span and performance of unsteady lifting devices such as helicopter rotors and wind turbine blades. To control these loads, it is required both an understanding of the unsteady flow conditions as well as providing mechanisms for prescribing the ensuing flow-wing interacti…

Unsteady flows can exhibit a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. For example, at high Reynolds numbers, turbulent flows develop with a broad separation of scales. Typically, the dynamical systems that govern these flows are nonlinear and allow intermittent and chaotic events. The analysis of turbulent flows often requires statistical post-processing techniques, which allow a better…
Aircraft noise is considered one of the most important issues of aviation environmental impact and efforts towards noise reduction are of paramount importance since regulations have become increasingly stringent in order to limit noise levels. In past decades, significant jet noise reduction has been achieved due to the design of more efficient and quieter turbofan engines. Hence, airfram…
The present work will focus on the study of numerical methods for reduced order modeling of problems in fluid mechanics. The performance of computers today is greater than that of computers used two or three decades ago but, for many engineering problems, the computational cost is still not feasible. It is in this reality that rests the interest in models of reduced order. The combination…

Turbulent boundary layers occur in most industrial flows and in nature, and they often develop under pressure gradients which impact their stability and turbulence properties. For example, boundary layers developing on aircraft wings, industrial rotors, and wind and gas turbines are subject to regions of favorable and adverse pressure gradients, the latter being more susceptible to separa…
