Droplet size distribution in homogeneous isotropic turbulence
Prasad Perlekar, Luca Biferale, Mauro Sbragaglia +2
We study the physics of droplet breakup in a statistically stationary homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow by means of high resolution numerical investigations based on the mul…
Inverse energy cascade in three-dimensional isotropic turbulence
Luca Biferale, Stefano Musacchio, Federico Toschi
In turbulent flows kinetic energy is spread by nonlinear interactions over a broad range of scales. Energy transfer may proceed either toward small scales or in the reverse directi…
Convection in multiphase flows using Lattice Boltzmann methods
L. Biferale, P. Perlekar, M. Sbragaglia +1
We present high resolution numerical simulations of convection in multiphase flows (boiling) using a novel algorithm based on a Lattice Boltzmann method. We first validate the ther…
Multi-Time Multi-Scale Correlation Functions in Hydrodynamic Turbulence
Luca Biferale, Enrico Calzavarini, Federico Toschi
High Reynolds numbers Navier-Stokes equations are believed to break self-similarity concerning both spatial and temporal properties: correlation functions of different orders exhib…
Reactive Rayleigh-Taylor systems: flame propagation and non-stationarity
A. Scagliarini, L. Biferale, F. Mantovani +3
Reactive Rayleigh-Taylor systems are characterized by the competition between the growth of the instability and the rate of reaction between cold (heavy) and hot (light) phases. We…
Second order closure for stratified convection: bulk region and overshooting
L. Biferale, F. Mantovani, M. Sbragaglia +3
The parameterization of small-scale turbulent fluctuations in convective systems and in the presence of strong stratification is a key issue for many applied problems in oceanograp…
