CFL Laboratory – Complex Flows Laboratory

Lab Team

Lab Mission

Setting up the Complex Flows Laboratory (short CFL) – AREA 1: Translational biomedical sciences. The laboratory will include complete facilities for the experimental and computational analysis of the fluid dynamics in complex engineering configurations. Hereinafter the groups of main assets are detailed.
Main assets (to be installed)
– A medium–scale cluster and storage with about 1024 cores for the simulation campaigns involving fluidstructure-electrophysiology interaction and multiple bodies;
– Microfluidic instrumentation for controlling and handling flow and particles/cells in microdevices, for
applications related to lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip devices, point-of-care diagnostics;
– Facility for time-resolved measurement of three velocity components in a 3D measurement volume for
4D flow analysis;
– High speed cameras to record the details of fast movements of immersed moving/deforming bodies
These assets will be installed at DMMM-POLIBA, complementing and consolidating the already existing facilities for flow visualization.

The equipment will be grouped in separate rooms: 1) high-performance-computing, 2) microfluidics, 3) flow visualization.
