Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection in emulsions: a short review

Francesca Pelusi, Andrea Scagliarini, Mauro Sbragaglia +2

Thermally driven emulsions arise in a broad range of natural and industrial contexts, yet their fundamental physical understanding remains only partially established. Emulsions exh…

A reduced model for droplet dynamics with interfacial viscosity

Fabio Guglietta, Diego Taglienti, Mauro Sbragaglia

We propose an extension of the phenomenological Maffettone-Minale (MM) model (P.L. Maffettone and M. Minale, J. Non-Newton. Fluid Mech. 78, 227-241 (1998)) to describe the time-dep…

Role of interfacial stabilization in the Rayleigh-Bénard convection of liquid-liquid dispersions

Francesca Pelusi, Andrea Scagliarini, Mauro Sbragaglia +2

Based on mesoscale lattice Boltzmann numerical simulations, we characterize the Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convective dynamics of dispersions of liquid droplets in another liquid phase.…

Heat transfer modulation in Phase Change Materials via fin insertion

Paolo Proia, Mauro Sbragaglia, Giacomo Falcucci

We leverage a large set of numerical simulations to study optimized geometrical configurations for Phase Change Materials (PCMs) cells. We consider a PCM cell as a square enclosure…

Deformation of ellipsoidal droplets in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence

Fabio Guglietta, Diego Taglienti, Mauro Sbragaglia

We study the statistics of deformation of neutrally buoyant droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT), wherein the characteristic droplet size is smaller than the char…

Dynamical regimes of thermally convective emulsions

Francesca Pelusi, Andrea Scagliarini, Mauro Sbragaglia +2

Emulsions are paramount in various interdisciplinary topical areas, yet a satisfactory understanding of their behavior in buoyancy-driven thermal flows has not been established. In…
