Rayleigh-Bénard convection of a model emulsion: anomalous heat-flux fluctuations and finite-size droplets effects
Francesca Pelusi, Mauro Sbragaglia, Roberto Benzi +3
We present mesoscale numerical simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection in a two-dimensional model emulsion. The systems under study are constituted of finite-size droplets,…
Convective heat transfer of a model emulsion at the droplet scale
Francesca Pelusi, Mauro Sbragaglia, Roberto Benzi +3
We numerically study the Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection in two-dimensional model emulsions confined between two parallel walls at fixed temperatures. The systems under study are h…
Effective modelling of the Rayleigh-Bénard convection of concentrated emulsions with finite-size droplets
Francesca Pelusi, Mauro Sbragaglia, Roberto Benzi +3
We present mesoscale numerical simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a two-dimensional concentrated emulsion, confined between two parallel walls, heated from below and cool…
Avalanche statistics during coarsening dynamics
Francesca Pelusi, Mauro Sbragaglia, Roberto Benzi
We study the coarsening dynamics of a two dimensional system via lattice Boltzmann numerical simulations. The system under consideration is a biphasic system consisting of domains…
On the impact of controlled wall roughness shape on the flow of a soft-material
F. Pelusi, M. Sbragaglia, A. Scagliarini +3
We explore the impact of geometrical corrugations on the near-wall flow properties of a soft-material driven in a confined rough microchannel. By means of numerical simulations, we…
