Acceleration statistics of heavy particles in turbulence
J. Bec, L. Biferale, G. Boffetta +5
We present the results of direct numerical simulations of heavy particle transport in homogeneous, isotropic, fully developed turbulence, up to resolution (…
Large-scale effects on meso-scale modeling for scalar transport
M. Cencini, A. Mazzino, S. Musacchio +1
The transport of scalar quantities passively advected by velocity fields with a small-scale component can be modeled at meso-scale level by means of an effective drift and an effec…
Thin front propagation in random shear flows
M. Chinappi, M. Cencini, A. Vulpiani
Front propagation in time dependent laminar flows is investigated in the limit of very fast reaction and very thin fronts, i.e. the so-called geometrical optics limit. In particula…
Turbulence and coarsening in active and passive binary mixtures
S. Berti, G. Boffetta, M. Cencini +1
Phase separation between two fluids in two-dimensions is investigated by means of Direct Numerical Simulations of coupled Navier-Stokes and Cahn-Hilliard equations. We study the ph…
Nonlinearly driven transverse synchronization in coupled chaotic systems
Massimo Cencini, Alessandro Torcini
Synchronization transitions are investigated in coupled chaotic maps. Depending on the relative weight of linear versus nonlinear instability mechanisms associated to the single ma…
