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…
Assessment of the point-wise approach for the Turbulent Settling of finite-size particles
Francesco Battistaa, Sergio Chibbarob, Paolo Gualtieria
We study the settling of suspensions of relatively large particles with a diameter of the order of ten Kolmogorov scales and density slightly larger than the carrier fluid in stati…
Exact regularized point particle (ERPP) method for particle-laden wall-bounded flows in the two-way coupling regime
Francesco Battista, Jean-Paul Mollicone, Paolo Gualtieri +2
The Exact Regularized Point Particle (ERPP) method is extended to treat the interphase momentum coupling between particles and fluid in the presence of walls by accounting for the…
