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…
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…
