Attenuating surface gravity waves with mechanical metamaterials
Francesco De Vita, Filippo De Lillo, Federico Bosia +1
Metamaterials and photonic/phononic crystals have been successfully developed in recent years to achieve advanced wave manipulation and control, both in electromagnetism and mechan…

On the effect of coalescence on the rheology of emulsions
Francesco De Vita, Marco Edoardo Rosti, Sergio Caserta +1
We present a numerical study of the rheology of a two-fluid emulsion in dilute and semidilute conditions. The analysis is performed for different capillary numbers, volume fraction…

Numerical Simulations of Vorticity Banding of Emulsions in Shear Flows
Francesco De Vita, Marco Edoardo Rosti, Sergio Caserta +1
Multiphase shear flows often show banded structures that affect the global behavior of complex fluids e.g. in microdevices. Here we investigate numerically the banding of emulsions…
