Growth rate and energy dissipation in wind-forced breaking waves
Nicolò Scapin, Jiarong Wu, J. Thomas Farrar +3
We investigate the energy growth and dissipation of wind-forced breaking waves at high wind speed using direct numerical simulations of the coupled air-water Navier-Stokes equation…
Evaporation of Finite-Size Ammonia and n-Heptane Droplets in Weakly Compressible Turbulence: An Interface-Resolved DNS Study
Salar Zamani Salimi, Andrea Gruber, Nicolò Scapin +1
This study presents direct numerical simulation (DNS) of finite-size, interface-resolved ammonia and n-heptane droplets evaporating in decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Si…
Momentum fluxes in wind-forced breaking waves
Nicolò Scapin, Jiarong Wu, J. Thomas Farrar +3
We investigate the momentum fluxes between a turbulent air boundary layer and a growing-breaking wave field by solving the air-water two-phase Navier-Stokes equations through direc…
Turbulent convection in emulsions: the Rayleigh-Bénard configuration
Abbas Moradi Bilondi, Nicolò Scapin, Luca Brandt +1
This study explores heat and turbulent modulation in three-dimensional multiphase Rayleigh-Bénard convection using direct numerical simulations. Two immiscible fluids with identic…
