Dynamics of the velocity fluctuations in sedimenting suspensions of rigid fibres
Alessandro Chiarini, Emanuele Gallorini, Marco Edoardo Rosti
We use direct numerical simulations to investigate fluid-solid interactions in suspensions of rigid fibres settling under gravity in a quiescent fluid. The solid-to-fluid density r…
Effect of submerged vegetation on water surface geometry and air-water momentum transfer
Giulio Foggi Rota, Alessandro Chiarini, Marco Edoardo Rosti
Understanding how submerged vegetation modifies the water surface is crucial for modeling momentum exchange between shallow waters and the atmosphere. In particular, quantifying it…
The broken link between space and time in elastic turbulence
Giulio Foggi Rota, Rahul K. Singh, Alessandro Chiarini +4
Elastic turbulence (ET), observed in flows of sufficiently elastic polymer solution at small inertia, is characterized by chaotic motions and power-law scaling of energy spectrum (…
The invariant rate of energy extraction by polymers in turbulence
Alessandro Chiarini, Rahul K. Singh, Marco E. Rosti
Polymeric turbulence, flows of fluids with dilute polymer additives at high Reynolds numbers, exhibits striking deviations from the Kolmogorovean behaviour of Newtonian turbulence.…
A simple and efficient second-order immersed-boundary method for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations
Paolo Luchini, Davide Gatti, Alessandro Chiarini +3
An immersed-boundary method for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations is presented. It employs discrete forcing for a sharp discrimination of the solid-fluid interface, and a…
On the symmetry-breaking instability of the flow past axisymmetric bluff bodies
A. Chiarini, R. Gauthier, E. Boujo
The primary bifurcation of the flow past three-dimensional axisymmetric bodies is investigated. We show that the azimuthal vorticity generated at the body surface is at the root of…
