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…
The Gompertz Growth of COVID-19 Outbreaks is Caused by Super-Spreaders
Francesco Zonta, Andrea Scaiewicz, Michael Levitt
In individual SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks, the count of confirmed cases and deaths follow a Gompertz growth function for locations of very different sizes. This lack of dependence on regi…
Fluctuations of entropy production in turbulent thermal convection
Francesco Zonta, Sergio Chibbaro
We report on a numerical experiment performed to analyze fluctuations of the entropy production in turbulent thermal convection, a physical configuration that represents here a pro…
Topological signatures of globular polymers
M. Baiesi, E. Orlandini, A. L. Stella +1
Simulations in which a globular ring polymer with delocalized knots is separated in two interacting loops by a slipping link, or in two non-interacting globuli by a wall with a hol…
Self-reptation and slow topological time scale of knotted polymers
Enzo Orlandini, Attilio L. Stella, Carlo Vanderzande +1
We investigate the Rouse dynamics of a flexible ring polymer with a prime knot. Within a Monte Carlo approach, we locate the knot, follow its diffusion, and observe the fluctuation…
On the size of knots in ring polymers
B. Marcone, E. Orlandini, A. L. Stella +1
We give two different, statistically consistent definitions of the length l of a prime knot tied into a polymer ring. In the good solvent regime the polymer is modelled by a self a…
