Adaptive near-contact repulsion in conservative Allen-Cahn phase-field lattice Boltzmann multiphase model
Andrea Montessori, Maria Rosa Lisboa, Marco Lauricella +1
Unresolved thin-film dynamics often causes spurious coalescence in diffuse-interface simulations of multiphase flows. We address this issue by introducing a fully local repulsive n…
Spontaneous epicuticular charging affects droplet dynamics on living leaves
Mihir Durve, Serena Armiento, Benham Kamare +3
How water droplets move and slide on leaves influences plant ecophysiological and abiotic interactions, as well as the design of advanced bio-inspired wetting materials. Despite cr…
Representation of Typical Droplet Shapes in 2D Latent Space
Mihir Durve, Jean-Michel Tucny Andrea Montessori, Marco Lauricella +1
In this study, we investigate the clustering of 5000 droplets, each originating from one of five distinct droplet classes, each representing a unique geometry. The shape coordinate…
accLB: A High-Performance Lattice Boltzmann Code for Multiphase Turbulence on Multi-Gpu Architectures
Marco Lauricella, Aritra Mukherjee, Luca Brandt +3
In this work, we present accLB, a high-performance Fortran-based lattice Boltzmann (LB) solver tailored to multiphase turbulent flows on multi-GPU architectures. The code couples a…
Thread-safe multiphase lattice Boltzmann model for droplet and bubble dynamics at high density and viscosity contrasts
Marco Lauricella, Adriano Tiribocchi, Sauro Succi +4
This study presents a high-order, thread-safe version of the lattice Boltzmann (LBM) method, incorporating an interface-capturing equation, based on the conservative Allen-Cahn equ…
