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…
Collective dynamics of dense hairy surfaces in turbulent flow
Alessandro Monti, Stefano Olivieri, Marco E. Rosti
Flexible filamentous beds interacting with a turbulent flow represent a fundamental setting for many environmental phenomena, e.g., aquatic canopies in marine current. Exploiting d…
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…
On the solidity parameter in canopy flows
Alessandro Monti, Shane Nicholas, Mohammad Omidyeganeh +2
We have performed high-fidelity simulations of turbulent open-channel flows over submerged rigid canopies made of cylindrical filaments of fixed length ( being the dom…
Dense bidisperse suspensions under non-homogenous shear
Alessandro Monti, Marco Edoardo Rosti
We study the rheological behaviour of bidisperse suspensions in three dimensions under a non-uniform shear flow, made by the superimposition of a linear shear and a sinusoidal dist…
Shear-thickening of dense bidispersed suspensions
Alessandro Monti, Marco Edoardo Rosti
We study the rheological behaviour of a dense bidispersed suspension varying the relative size of the two dispersed phases. The main outcome of our analysis is that an enhanced flo…
A fast and efficient tool to study the rheology of dense suspensions
Alessandro Monti, Vikram Rathee, Amy Q. Shen +1
A cutting-edge software is presented to tackle the Newton-Euler equations governing the dynamics of granular flows and dense suspensions in Newtonian fluids. In particular, we prop…
Glow discharge in low pressure plasma PVD: mathematical model and numerical simulations
Alessandro Speranza, Luigi Barletti, Luca Meacci +3
In this paper we analyze the problem of glow discharge in low pressure plasma in industrial plant, for chambers of different shapes and various working parameters, like pressure an…
