Organization: University of Bologna – Department of Mechanical, Nuclear, Aeronautical Constructions (DIEM) Short name: UniBo
General Description
The University of Bologna (UniBo) Research Unit (RU) belongs to the DIEM (Department of Mechanical, Nu- clear, Aeronautical Constructions), which mainly operates in the mechanical and aerospace engineering. The aerospace engineering laboratory of the DIEM is located at the II School of Engineering of the University of Bo- logna. The Disciplinary Scientific Sectors of reference of the teachers and the researchers of the DIEM and the relative didactic and research activities are: mechanics of the flight, fluid machines, systems for the energy and the environment, mechanics applied to the machines, mechanical planning and construction of machines, sketch and Methods of the industrial engineering, technologies and systems of Workmanship, plants mechanical Indus- trialists, Industrial bioengineering, constructions and aerospace structures, physics of the nuclear reactors, fluid dynamic, plants and aerospace systems.
