ThermaLab
ThermALab (acronym of Thermal Analysis Lab) carries on research activity on heat and mass transfer and thermal analysis of devices, systems and processes for a very broad spectrum of engineering applications ranging from automotive to electronics, from biomedical to aerospace, from conventional energy systems to green power generation. Issues currently indagated at Thermalab, both from a numerical and experimental standpoint, are micro-scale heat transfer, complex flows over a large variety of enhanced surfaces, thermal conductivity of metallic foams and trabecular or composite materials, spectral and directional radiometric properties both of opaque and transparent materials.
Finally, Thermalab has a longterm proven expertise in IR-thermographic analyses and in thermal modeling carried out by means of thermo-fluid-dynamics simulations (CFD), multiphysics finite elements analyses (FEM), ray-tracing simulations, and custom software development. The long-standing experimental experience of the Lab- allows to create models that take account of any relevant physical phenomenon for very accurate result
