Interface-resolved simulations of boiling heat transfer

Alessio Roccon, Luca Brandt

Boiling heat transfer underpins many applications where large heat fluxes must be dissipated. Boiling is characterized by a wide range of coupled multiscale transport phenomena, ma…

A GPU-ready pseudo-spectral method for direct numerical simulations of multiphase turbulence

Alessio Roccon

In this work, we detail the GPU-porting of an in-house pseudo-spectral solver tailored towards large-scale simulations of interface-resolved simulation of drop- and bubble-laden tu…

Effect of surfactant-laden droplets on turbulent flow topology

Giovanni Soligo, Alessio Roccon, Alfredo Soldati

In this work, we investigate flow topology modifications produced by a swarm of large surfactant-laden droplets released in a turbulent channel flow. Droplets have same density and…

Influence of density and viscosity on deformation, breakage, and coalescence of bubbles in turbulence

Francesca Mangani, Giovanni Soligo, Alessio Roccon +1

We investigate the effect of density and viscosity differences on a swarm of large and deformable bubbles dispersed in a turbulent channel flow. For a given shear Reynolds number,…

Heat transfer in drop-laden turbulence

Francesca Mangani, Alessio Roccon, Francesco Zonta +1

Heat transfer by large deformable drops in a turbulent flow is a complex and rich in physics system, in which drops deformation, breakage and coalescence influence the transport of…

Coalescence of surfactant-laden drops by Phase Field Method

Giovanni Soligo, Alessio Roccon, Alfredo Soldati

In this work, we propose and test the validity of a modified Phase Field Method (PFM), which was specifically developed for large scale simulations of turbulent flows with large an…
