Meet Joe Iannelli |
|
Joe Iannelli earned a Diploma in Fluid Dynamics from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, a summa cum laude BSc / MSc “Laurea” in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Palermo, and his PhD in Engineering Science and Mechanics, with concentration in compressible-flow CFD, from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. After investigating CFD algorithms for reactive flows at ICOMP, NASA Lewis, now Glenn, he has been a tenured Associate Professor of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee from 1991 to 2004, and is now an Associate Professor of Aeronautical Engineering at the City University of London, where he also serves as director of the historically-first British Center for Aeronautics.
He has contributed an optimally-dissipative CFD procedure that induces a characteristics-based multidimensional upwinding directly at the partial differential equation level, before the discretization in space, as documented in his book entitled "Characteristics Finite Element Methods in Computational Fluid Dynamics, published by Springer-Verlag this year. He and his graduate students have been profitably using this procedure to investigate steady and unsteady subsonic, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic flows, including chemically reacting flows and controlled engine and inlet flows. A senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the recipient of several awards, including an Exxon Professorship and two Alumni Association Outstanding Teaching Awards, from the University of Tennessee, Joe has researched and developed CFD algorithms for over two decades, authored numerous CFD papers, and remains actively engaged in teaching and research in CFD, Engineering and Scientific Computing, Gas Dynamics, and Propulsion.
