Luciano Castillo's work centers on fluid dynamics and its applications to energy and environmental systems, including wind turbine performance in complex terrain, turbulent boundary layers, and desalination technologies such as reverse osmosis. His research spans both fundamental fluid mechanics questions (like turbulence over wavy surfaces and low-level jets affecting wind turbines) and applied engineering problems (water desalination, disinfection methods, and coastal erosion prevention using mangrove root models).
