    Edoardo Cipriano ORCID

    Postdoctoral researcher at Institut Jean le Rond d’Alembert (∂’Alembert) of Sorbonne Université. My research focuses on the simulation of multiphase flows, with a particular emphasis on developing numerical methods for phase-changing and reactive systems. I aim to leverage direct numerical simulations to deepen the understanding of these complex phenomena, support experimental investigations, and provide valuable insights for the development of simplified engineering models.

    Here you can find my codes. If you would like to discuss a related topic, feel free to contact me by email: edoardo.cipriano@sorbonne-universite.fr.
