Sub-Kolmogorov droplet dynamics in isotropic turbulence using a multiscale lattice Boltzmann scheme
Felix Milan, Luca Biferale, Mauro Sbragaglia +1
The deformation and dynamics of a single droplet in isotropic turbulence is studied using a Lattice Boltzmann diffuse interface model involving exact boundary flow conditions to al…
A lattice Boltzmann study on Brownian diffusion and friction of a particle in a confined multicomponent fluid
Xiao Xue, Luca Biferale, Mauro Sbragaglia +1
We study the diffusivity of a small particle immersed in a square box filled with a non-ideal multicomponent fluid in the presence of thermal fluctuations. Our approach is based on…
-Navier-Stokes turbulence
Alexandros Alexakis, Luca Biferale
We investigate numerically the model proposed in Sahoo et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 164501, (2017)] where a parameter is introduced in the Navier-Stokes equations such that the…
Acceleration of tracer and light particles in compressible homogeneous isotropic turbulence
Xiangjun Wang, Minping Wan, Luca Biferale
The accelerations of tracer and light particles in compressible homogeneous isotropic turbulence (CHIT) is investigated by using data from direct numerical simulations (DNS) up to…
A minimal phase-coupling model for intermittency in turbulent systems
José-Agustín Arguedas-Leiva, Enda Carroll, Luca Biferale +2
Turbulent systems exhibit a remarkable multi-scale complexity, in which spatial structures induce scale-dependent statistics with strong departures from Gaussianity. In Fourier spa…
Base flow decomposition for complex moving objects in linear hydrodynamics: application to helix-shaped flagellated microswimmers
Ji Zhang, Mauro Chinappi, Luca Biferale
The motion of microswimmers in complex flows is ruled by the interplay between swimmer propulsion and the dynamics induced by the fluid velocity field. Here we study the motion of…
Reinforcement learning for pursuit and evasion of microswimmers at low Reynolds number
Francesco Borra, Luca Biferale, Massimo Cencini +1
We consider a model of two competing microswimming agents engaged in a pursue-evasion task within a low-Reynolds-number environment. Agents can only perform simple maneuvers and se…
Validation and application of the lattice Boltzmann algorithm for a turbulent immiscible Rayleigh-Taylor system
Hugo S. Tavares, Luca Biferale, Mauro Sbragaglia +1
We develop a multicomponent lattice Boltzmann (LB) model for the 2D Rayleigh--Taylor turbulence with a Shan-Chen pseudopotential implemented on GPUs. In the immiscible case this me…
