Constructive interference in a network of elastically-bounded flapping plates
S. Olivieri, C. Boragno, R. Verzicco +1
Aeroelastic phenomena are gaining significant attention from the perspective of energy harvesting (EH) with promising applications in supplying low-power remote sensors. Besides th…
Stokes drift for inertial particles transported by water waves
G. Boffetta, M. Martins Afonso, A. Mazzino +2
We study the effect of surface gravity waves on the motion of inertial particles in an incompressible fluid. Using the multiple-scale technique, we perform an analytical calculatio…
Effects of polymer additives on Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence
G. Boffetta, A. Mazzino, S. Musacchio
The role of polymers additives on the turbulent convective flow of a Rayleigh--Taylor system is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS) of Oldroyd-B viscoelasti…
Statistics of mixing in three-dimensional Rayleigh--Taylor turbulence at low Atwood number and Prandtl number one
G. Boffetta, A. Mazzino, S. Musacchio +1
Three-dimensional miscible Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) turbulence at small Atwood number and at Prandtl number one is investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulation…
Polymer heat transport enhancement in thermal convection: the case of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence
G. Boffetta, A. Mazzino, S. Musacchio +1
We study the effects of polymer additives on turbulence generated by the ubiquitous Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Numerical simulations of complete viscoelastic models provide clear…
Rayleigh--Taylor instability in a viscoelastic binary fluid
G. Boffetta, A. Mazzino, S. Musacchio +1
The effects of polymer additives on Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) instability of immiscible fluids is investigated using the Oldroyd-B viscoelastic model. Analytic results obtained exploit…
