Avalanche Size and Interevent Time Statistics in Amorphous System
Thomas Muhren, Roberto Benzi, Mauro Sbragaglia +2
The intermittent, stick-slip flow of amorphous systems is characterized by avalanches whose statistical properties display robust power-laws. In this paper, we study avalanche stat…
Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection in emulsions: a short review
Francesca Pelusi, Andrea Scagliarini, Mauro Sbragaglia +2
Thermally driven emulsions arise in a broad range of natural and industrial contexts, yet their fundamental physical understanding remains only partially established. Emulsions exh…
A reduced model for droplet dynamics with interfacial viscosity
Fabio Guglietta, Diego Taglienti, Mauro Sbragaglia
We propose an extension of the phenomenological Maffettone-Minale (MM) model (P.L. Maffettone and M. Minale, J. Non-Newton. Fluid Mech. 78, 227-241 (1998)) to describe the time-dep…
Role of interfacial stabilization in the Rayleigh-Bénard convection of liquid-liquid dispersions
Francesca Pelusi, Andrea Scagliarini, Mauro Sbragaglia +2
Based on mesoscale lattice Boltzmann numerical simulations, we characterize the Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convective dynamics of dispersions of liquid droplets in another liquid phase.…
Heat transfer modulation in Phase Change Materials via fin insertion
Paolo Proia, Mauro Sbragaglia, Giacomo Falcucci
We leverage a large set of numerical simulations to study optimized geometrical configurations for Phase Change Materials (PCMs) cells. We consider a PCM cell as a square enclosure…
Deformation of ellipsoidal droplets in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence
Fabio Guglietta, Diego Taglienti, Mauro Sbragaglia
We study the statistics of deformation of neutrally buoyant droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT), wherein the characteristic droplet size is smaller than the char…
