Growth rate and energy dissipation in wind-forced breaking waves
Nicolò Scapin, Jiarong Wu, J. Thomas Farrar +3
We investigate the energy growth and dissipation of wind-forced breaking waves at high wind speed using direct numerical simulations of the coupled air-water Navier-Stokes equation…
Evaporation of Finite-Size Ammonia and n-Heptane Droplets in Weakly Compressible Turbulence: An Interface-Resolved DNS Study
Salar Zamani Salimi, Andrea Gruber, Nicolò Scapin +1
This study presents direct numerical simulation (DNS) of finite-size, interface-resolved ammonia and n-heptane droplets evaporating in decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Si…
Momentum fluxes in wind-forced breaking waves
Nicolò Scapin, Jiarong Wu, J. Thomas Farrar +3
We investigate the momentum fluxes between a turbulent air boundary layer and a growing-breaking wave field by solving the air-water two-phase Navier-Stokes equations through direc…
Turbulent convection in emulsions: the Rayleigh-Bénard configuration
Abbas Moradi Bilondi, Nicolò Scapin, Luca Brandt +1
This study explores heat and turbulent modulation in three-dimensional multiphase Rayleigh-Bénard convection using direct numerical simulations. Two immiscible fluids with identica…
Evaporating Rayleigh-Bénard convection: prediction of interface temperature and global heat transfer modulation
Nicoló Scapin, Andreas D. Demou, Luca Brandt
We propose an analytical model to estimate the interface temperature and the Nusselt number for an evaporating two-layer Rayleigh-Bénard configuration in statistically s…
FluTAS: A GPU-accelerated finite difference code for multiphase flows
Marco Crialesi-Esposito, Nicolo Scapin, Andreas D. Demou +4
We present the Fluid Transport Accelerated Solver, FluTAS, a scalable GPU code for multiphase flows with thermal effects. The code solves the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation…
Finite-size evaporating droplets in weakly compressible homogeneous shear turbulence
Nicolò Scapin, Federico Dalla Barba, Giandomenico Lupo +3
We perform interface-resolved simulations of finite-size evaporating droplets in weakly-compressible homogeneous shear turbulence (HST). The study is conducted by varying three dim…
A pressure-based diffuse interface method for low-Mach multiphase flows with mass transfer
Andreas D. Demou, Nicoló Scapin, Marica Pelanti +1
This study presents a novel pressure-based methodology for the efficient numerical solution of a four-equation two-phase diffuse interface model. The proposed methodology has the p…
An interface capturing method for liquid-gas flows at low-Mach number
Federico Dalla Barba, Nicolò Scapin, Marco E. Rosti +2
Multiphase, compressible and viscous flows are of crucial importance in a wide range of scientific and engineering problems. Despite the large effort paid in the last decades to de…
A volume-of-fluid method for interface-resolved simulations of phase-changing two-fluid flows
Nicolò Scapin, Pedro Costa, Luca Brandt
We present a numerical method for interface-resolved simulations of evaporating two-fluid flows based on the volume-of-fluid (VoF) method. The method has been implemented in an eff…
