Nested homogenization of xylem-inspired porous fluidic networks
Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Giacomo Ferrari, Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna
Fluidic networks may contain hierarchical porous structures in which transport across macroscopic interfaces is controlled by geometrical features at multiple nested length scales.…

Effective flows across diffusio-phoretic membranes
Kevin Wittkowski, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Edoardo Carlo Giordano +2
Flows enabled by phoretic mechanisms are of significant interest in several biological and biomedical processes, such as bacterial motion and targeted drug delivery. Here, we devel…

Coating thickness prediction for a viscous film on a rough plate
Lebo Molefe, Giuseppe A. Zampogna, John M. Kolinski +1
Surface roughness significantly modifies the liquid film thickness entrained when dip coating a solid surface, particularly at low coating velocity. Using a homogenization approach…
