Optimized numerical solutions of SIRDVW multiage model controlling SARS-CoV-2 vaccine roll out: An application to the Italian scenario

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Nicola Parolini

In the context of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, mathematical modelling has played a funda-mental role for making forecasts, simulating scenarios and evaluating the impact of pre-ventive political, social and pharmaceutical measures. Optimal control theory represent ...

A mathematical dashboard for the analysis of Italian COVID-19 epidemic data

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Nicola Parolini

An analysis of the COVID-19 epidemic is proposed on the basis of the epiMOX dashboard (publicly accessible at ) that deals with data of the epidemic trends and outbreaks in Italy from late February 2020. Our analysis provides an immediate appreciation of t ...

Reduced Basis Approximation And A Posteriori Error Estimates For Parametrized Elliptic Eigenvalue Problems

Andrea Manzoni, Nicola Parolini

We develop a new reduced basis (RB) method for the rapid and reliable approximation of parametrized elliptic eigenvalue problems. The method hinges upon dual weighted residual type a posteriori error indicators which estimate, for any value of the paramete ...

Multiphysics simulation of corona discharge induced ionic wind

Ivica Stevanovic, Nicola Parolini, Francesco Agostini

Ionic wind devices or electrostatic fluid accelerators are becoming of increasing interest as tools for thermal management, in particular for semiconductor devices. In this work, we present a numerical model for predicting the performance of such devices; ...

Numerical Simulation of Sailing Boats: Dynamics, FSI, and Shape Optimization

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Nicola Parolini, Matteo Lombardi

The numerical simulation of free-surface flows around sailing boats is a complex topic that addresses multiple mathematical tasks: the correct study of the flow field around a rigid hull, the numerical simulation of the hull dynamics, the deformation of th ...

Mathematics in the Wind

Alfio Quarteroni, Nicola Parolini

In any sport or human endeavor, coaches regularly state “play to your strengths.” One might not guess that a land-locked, mountainous country like Switzerland would have strengths that would give them a chance at winning the oldest, most competitive sailin ...

Efficient oxygen transfer by surface aeration in shaken cylindrical containers for mammalian cell cultivation at volumetric scales up to 1,000 liters

Alfio Quarteroni, Florian Maria Wurm, Nicola Parolini, Marco Discacciati, David Hacker, Xiuwei Zhang, Mathieu Benjamin Stettler, Marco Perrone, Dario De Sanctis

Cylindrical containers agitated by orbital shaking are being developed as simple and cost-effective bioreactor systems for the cultivation of mammalian cells. Here the oxygen transfer capacities of containers with nominal volumes from 50 mL to 2000 L were ...

Mass preserving finite element implementations of the level set method

Nicola Parolini, Daniele Antonio Di Pietro

In the last two decades, the level set method has been extensively used for the numerical solution of interface problems in different domains. The basic idea is to embed the interface as the level set of a regular function. In this paper we focus on the nu ...
