clotFoam: An Open-Source Framework to Simulate Blood Clot Formation Under Arterial Flow
David Montgomery, Federico Municchi, Karin Leiderman
Blood clotting involves the coupled processes of platelet aggregation and coagulation. Simulating clotting under flow in complex geometries is challenging due to multiple temporal…
Mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of reverse-osmosis desalination
Nicodemo Di Pasquale, Mayo Akele, Federico Municchi +2
The reverse osmosis membrane module is an integral element of a desalination system as it determines the overall performance of the desalination plant. The fraction of clean water…
Computational framework for complex flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media
Matteo Icardi, Eugenio Pescimoro, Federico Municchi +1
We present a flexible scalable open-source computational framework, named SECUReFoam, based on the finite-volume library OpenFOAM(R), for flow and transport problems in highly hete…
Electrochemical transport modelling and open-source simulation of pore-scale solid-liquid systems
Robert Barnett, Federico Municchi, John King +1
The modelling of electrokinetic flows is a critical aspect spanning many industrial applications and research fields. This has introduced great demand in flexible numerical solvers…
Conjugate heat transfer effects on flow boiling in microchannels
F. Municchi, I. El Mellas, O. K. Matar +1
This article presents a computational study of saturated flow boiling in non-circular microchannels. The unit channel of a multi-microchannel evaporator, consisting of the fluidic…
Two-fluid modeling of heat transfer in flows of dense suspensions
Pranay P. Nagrani, Federico Municchi, Amy M. Marconnet +1
We develop a two-fluid model (TFM) for heat transfer in dense non-Brownian suspensions. Specifically, we propose closure relations for the inter-phase heat transfer coefficient and…
Heterogeneous Multi-Rate mass transfer models in OpenFOAM
Federico Municchi, Nicodemo di Pasquale, Marco Dentz +1
We implement the Multi-Rate Mass Transfer (MRMT) model for mobile-immobile transport in porous media within the open-source finite volume library \textsc{OpenFOAM}\reg \citep{Found…
Optimisation of crust freezing in meat processing via Computational Fluid Dynamics
Evaldas Greiciunas, Federico Municchi, Nicodemo Di Pasquale +1
In this work a numerical model for two-dimensional axisymmetric continuous freezing by impingement of processed meat or similar products in food industry moving along a conveyor be…
Macroscopic models for filtration and heterogeneous reactions in porous media
Federico Municchi, Matteo Icardi
Derivation of macroscopic models for advection-diffusion processes in the presence of dominant heterogeneous (e.g., surface) reactions using homogenisation theory or volume averagi…
Generalised Multi-Rate Models for conjugate transfer in heterogeneous materials
Federico Municchi, Matteo Icardi
We propose a novel macroscopic model for conjugate heat and mass transfer between a \emph{mobile region}, where advective transport is significant, and a set of \emph{immobile regi…
A two-fluid model for numerical simulation of shear-dominated suspension flows
Federico Municchi, Pranay P. Nagrani, Ivan C. Christov
Suspension flows are ubiquitous in nature (hemodynamics, subsurface fluid mechanics, etc.) and industrial applications (hydraulic fracturing, CO storage, etc.). However, such f…
Computational Analysis of Interfacial Dynamics in Angled Hele-Shaw Cells: Instability Regimes
Daihui Lu, Federico Municchi, Ivan C. Christov
We present a theoretical and numerical study on the (in)stability of the interface between two immiscible liquids, i.e., viscous fingering, in angled Hele-Shaw cells across a range…
