Nanodroplet Condensation on Solid Surfaces
Matteo Teodori, Dario Abbondanza, Mirko Gallo +1
This paper deals with the condensation of liquid droplets on hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. A stochastic mesoscale model based on the theory of fluctuating hydrodynamics and…
Universal mean velocity profile in polymeric flows at maximum drag reduction
Francesco Serafini, Francesco Battista, Paolo Gualtieri +1
Provided a sufficient concentration of long-chain polymers in a Newtonian solvent, turbulent wall-bounded flows exhibit a universal state known as Maximum Drag Reduction (MDR). Thr…
Bubbles enable volumetric negative compressibility in metastable elastocapillary systems
Davide Caprini, Francesco Battista, Pawel Zajdel +11
Although coveted in applications, few materials expand when subject to compression or contract under decompression, i.e., exhibit the negative compressibility phenomenon. A key ste…
Heterogeneous cavitation from atomically smooth liquid-liquid interfaces
Patricia Pfeiffer, Meysam Shahrooz, Marco Tortora +5
Pressure reduction in liquids may result in vaporization and bubble formation. This thermodynamic process is termed cavitation. It is commonly observed in hydraulic machinery, ship…
Topological transitions in fluid lipid vesicles: activation energy and force fields
Matteo Bottacchiari, Mirko Gallo, Marco Bussoletti +1
Lipid bilayer membranes are the fundamental biological barriers that permit life. The bilayer dynamics largely participates in orchestrating cellular workings and is characterized…
Superhydrophobic surfaces to reduce form drag in turbulent separated flows
J. -P. Mollicone, F. Battista, P. Gualtieri +1
The drag force acting on a body moving in a fluid has two components, friction drag due to fluid viscosity and form drag due to flow separation behind the body. When present, form…
