Wetting failure and contact line dynamics in a Couette flow
M. Sbragaglia, K. Sugiyama, L. Biferale
Liquid-liquid wetting failure is investigated in a two-dimensional Couette system with two immiscible fluids of arbitrary viscosity. The problem is solved exactly using a sharp int…
Evidence of thin-film precursors formation in hydrokinetic and atomistic simulations of nano-channel capillary filling
S. Chibbaro, L. Biferale, F. Diotallevi +6
We present hydrokinetic Lattice Boltzmann and Molecular Dynamics simulations of capillary filling of high-wetting fluids in nano-channels, which provide clear evidence of the forma…
Front pinning in capillary filling of chemically coated channels
F. Diotallevi, L. Biferale, S. Chibbaro +2
The dynamics of capillary filling in the presence of chemically coated heterogeneous boundaries is investigated, both theoretically and numerically. In particular, by mapping the e…
Velocity gradients statistics along particle trajectories in turbulent flows: the refined similarity hypothesis in the Lagrangian frame
Roberto Benzi, Luca Biferale, Enrico Calzavarini +2
We present an investigation of the statistics of velocity gradient related quantities, in particluar energy dissipation rate and enstrophy, along the trajectories of fluid tracers…
