Three dimensional contractile droplet under confinement
Adriano Tiribocchi, Marco Lauricella, Andrea Montessori +1
We numerically study the dynamics of a three-dimensional contractile fluid droplet in the bulk and under confinement. We show that varying activity leads to a variety of shapes and…
Ghost-Mode Filtered Fluctuating Lattice Boltzmann Method
Marco Lauricella, Andrea Montessori, Adriano Tiribocchi +1
Fluctuating lattice Boltzmann solvers are widely employed to model mesoscopic fluid behavior in soft-matter systems, including colloidal suspensions and dilute polymer solutions. D…
Lattice Boltzmann simulations for soft flowing matter
A. Tiribocchi, M. Durve, M. Lauricella +3
Over the last decade, the Lattice Boltzmann method has found major scope for the simulation of a large spectrum of problems in soft matter, from multiphase and multi-component micr…
Spontaneous motion of a passive fluid droplet in an active microchannel
A. Tiribocchi, M. Durve, M. Lauricella +2
We numerically study the dynamics of a passive fluid droplet confined within a microchannel whose walls are covered with a thin layer of active gel. The latter represents a fluid o…
Shapes and dynamic regimes of a polar active fluid droplet under confinement
Adriano Tiribocchi, Mihir Durve, Marco Lauricella +3
Active droplets are artificial microswimmers built from a liquid dispersion by microfluidic tools and showing self-propelled motion. These systems hold particular interest for mimi…
The crucial role of adhesion in the transmigration of active droplets through interstitial orifices
A. Tiribocchi, M. Durve, M. Lauricella +3
Active fluid droplets are a class of soft materials exhibiting autonomous motion sustained by an energy supply. Such systems have been shown to capture motility regimes typical of…
Stochastic jetting and dripping in confined soft granular flows
Michał Bogdan, Andrea Montessori, Adriano Tiribocchi +5
We report new dynamical modes in confined soft granular flows, such as stochastic jetting and dripping, with no counterpart in continuum viscous fluids. The new modes emerge as a r…
Curvature dynamics and long-range effects on fluid-fluid interfaces with colloids
A. Tiribocchi, F. Bonaccorso, M. Lauricella +3
We investigate the dynamics of a phase-separating binary fluid, containing colloidal dumbbells anchored to the fluid-fluid interface. Extensive Lattice Boltzmann-Immersed Boundary…
Dynamics of polydisperse multiple emulsions in microfluidic channels
A. Tiribocchi, A. Montessori, M. Durve +3
Multiple emulsions are a class of soft fluid in which small drops are immersed within a larger one and stabilized over long periods of time by a surfactant. We recently showed that…

The state-of-the-art deep learning-based object recognition YOLO algorithm and object tracking DeepSORT algorithm are combined to analyze digital images from fluid dynamic simulati…
Shear dynamics of polydisperse double emulsions
A. Tiribocchi, A. Montessori, F. Bonaccorso +2
We numerically study the dynamics of a polydisperse double emulsion under a symmetric shear flow. We show that both dispersity and shear rate crucially affect the behavior of the i…

Mihir Durve, Fabio Bonaccorso, Andrea Montessori +3
We present a deep learning-based object detection and object tracking algorithm to study droplet motion in dense microfluidic emulsions. The deep learning procedure is shown to cor…
Wet to dry self-transitions in dense emulsions: from order to disorder and back
Andrea Montessori, Marco Lauricella, Adriano Tiribocchi +2
One of the most distinctive hallmarks of many-body systems far from equilibrium is the spontaneous emergence of order under conditions where disorder would be plausibly expected. H…
