Beyond capillarity: extended interfacial energy transfer in bubble-laden turbulence
Andrea Montessori
Capillary forces are commonly regarded as an energetically closed channel in multiphase turbulence, redistributing kinetic energy across scales without net gain or loss. Here we sh…
LBFAST: A Lightweight Moment-Represented Lattice Boltzmann Solver for Multi-GPU Architectures
Marco Lauricella, Andrea Montessori, Giorgio Amati +4
We present LBFAST, a GPU-oriented lattice Boltzmann solver based on a lightweight moment-represented formulation, in which post-collision populations are reconstructed on the fly f…
Accurate wetting dynamics via a conservative Allen-Cahn based lattice Boltzmann approach for multiphase flows
Paolo Bello, Luca Mander, Marco Lauricella +3
In this work we propose a local geometric wetting boundary condition for a conservative Allen--Cahn-based lattice Boltzmann framework. The prescribed contact angle is imposed throu…
Vortex dynamics and air entrainment in dam break wave impacting on vertical walls: A multiphase lattice Boltzmann study
Massimiliano Mustè, Andrea Montessori, Pietro Prestininzi
Air entrainment often plays a crucial role in determining impact loads exerted by free-surface wave flows interacting with structures, yet its modelling is often oversimplified in…
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…
Adaptive near-contact repulsion in conservative Allen-Cahn phase-field lattice Boltzmann multiphase model
Andrea Montessori, Maria Rosa Lisboa, Marco Lauricella +1
Unresolved thin-film dynamics often causes spurious coalescence in diffuse-interface simulations of multiphase flows. We address this issue by introducing a fully local repulsive n…
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…
