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…
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.…
Non-reciprocal coalescence-breakup dynamics in concentrated emulsions
Ivan Girotto, Andrea Scagliarini, Lei Yi +3
Dense stabilized emulsions are mixtures of immiscible fluids where the high-volume fraction droplet dispersed phase is stabilized against coalescence by steric interactions. The pr…
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…
Intermittent thermal convection in jammed emulsions
Francesca Pelusi, Andrea Scagliarini, Mauro Sbragaglia +2
We study the process of thermal convection in jammed emulsions with a yield-stress rheology. We find that heat transfer occurs via an intermittent mechanism, whereby intense short-…
