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…
Extreme flow simulations reveal skeletal adaptations of deep-sea sponges
Giacomo Falcucci, Giorgio Amati, Pierluigi Fanelli +4
Since its discovery, the deep-sea glass sponge Euplectella aspergillum has attracted interest in its mechanical properties and beauty. Its skeletal system is composed of amorphous…
A Review on Contact and Collision Methods for Multi-body Hydrodynamic problems in Complex Flows
Sajjad Karimnejad, Amin Amiri Delouei, Hakan Basagaoglu +5
Modeling and direct numerical simulation of particle-laden flows have a tremendous variety of applications in science and engineering across a vast spectrum of scales from pollutio…
On the effects of membrane viscosity on transient red blood cell dynamics
F. Guglietta, M. Behr, L. Biferale +2
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is currently used to design and improve the hydraulic properties of biomedical devices, wherein the large scale blood circulation needs to be sim…
Mapping Reactive Flow Patterns in Monolithic Nanoporous Catalysts
Giacomo Falcucci, Sauro Succi, Andrea Montessori +8
The development of high-efficiency porous catalyst membranes critically depends on our understanding of where the majority of the chemical conversions occur within the porous struc…
Lattice Boltzmann models for non-ideal fluids with arrested phase-separation
S. Chibbaro, G. Falcucci, G. Chiatti +3
The effects of mid-range repulsion in Lattice Boltzmann models on the coalescence/breakup behaviour of single-component, non-ideal fluids are investigated. It is found that mid-ran…
