About Aldo

Dr. Aldo Rona serves as Associate Professor in Fluid Dynamics and Turbomachinery in the School of Engineering at the University of Leicester. He earned a first-class B.Eng.(Hons) from the Department of Aeronautics at City University, UK, and a Ph.D. from the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Southampton, UK. His research focuses on unsteady flows, compressible flows, and aeroacoustics of significance to aerospace, transport, and energy sectors, utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). He employs tailored analytical methods and experimentation to validate predictions. Specific interests include turbomachinery aerodynamics, featuring novel endwall contouring to enhance gas turbine performance for propulsion and power generation, conducted in collaboration with partners in the USA, Japan, and Iraq. Additional areas encompass modelling of central airways and hemodynamics in main vessels, as well as advanced liquid cooling via nanofluids. CFD applications extend to renewable energy and sustainability, such as wind and water turbines and heat transfer enhancement with nanofluids, alongside medical evaluations of haemodynamics using CT scans and 4D MRI for pre- and post-surgical assessments.
