Edge-effects in the turbulent flow over flexible aquatic vegetation
Giulio Foggi Rota, Elisa Tressoldi, Francesco Avallone +1
Riparian vegetation along riverbanks and seagrass along coastlines interact with water currents, significantly altering their flow. To characterise the turbulent fluid motion along…
Dynamics and fluid-structure interaction in turbulent flows within and above flexible canopies
Giulio Foggi Rota, Alessandro Monti, Stefano Olivieri +1
Flexible canopy flows are often encountered in natural scenarios, e.g., when crops sway in the wind or when submerged kelp forests are agitated by marine currents. Here, we provide…
On-off pumping for drag reduction in a turbulent channel flow
Giulio Foggi Rota, Alessandro Monti, Marco E. Rosti +1
We show that the energy required by a turbulent flow to displace a given amount of fluid through a straight duct in a given time interval can be reduced by modulating in time the p…
Saving Energy in Turbulent Flows with Unsteady Pumping
Giulio Foggi Rota, Alessandro Monti, Marco E. Rosti +1
Viscous dissipation causes significant energy losses in fluid flows; in ducts, laminar flows provide the minimum resistance to the motion, whereas turbulent currents substantially…
