Superhydrophobic surfaces to reduce form drag in turbulent separated flows
J. -P. Mollicone, F. Battista, P. Gualtieri +1
The drag force acting on a body moving in a fluid has two components, friction drag due to fluid viscosity and form drag due to flow separation behind the body. When present, form…
Transition from shear-dominated to Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence
Stefano Brizzolara, Jean-Paul Mollicone, Maarten van Reeuwijk +2
Turbulent mixing layers in nature are often characterized by the presence of a mean shear and an unstable buoyancy gradient between two streams of different velocity. Depending on…
Role of vortical structures for enstrophy and scalar transport in flows with and without stable stratification
M. M. Neamtu-Halic, J. -P. Mollicone, M. van Reeuwijk +1
In this paper, we investigate the enstrophy dynamics in relation to objective Eulerian coherent structures (OECSs) and their impact on the enstrophy and scalar transport near the t…
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…
Particles in turbulent separated flow over a bump: effect of the Stokes number and lift force
Jean-Paul Mollicone, Mahshid Sharifi, Francesco Battista +2
Particle-laden turbulent flow that separates due to a bump inside a channel is simulated to analyse the effects of the Stokes number and the lift force on the particle spatial dist…
Drag reduction induced by superhydrophobic surfaces in turbulent pipe flow
Roberta Costantini, Jean-Paul Mollicone, Francesco Battista
The drag reduction induced by superhydrophobic surfaces is investigated in turbulent pipe flow. Wetted superhydrophobic surfaces are shown to trap gas bubbles in their asperities.…
