In fluid mechanics, turbulence can occur in very simple flow geometries, for Newtonian fluids and without the need for additional flow conditions such as temperature gradients or chemical reactions. In standard cases, intuitive assumptions on the physics o ...
A new district energy network has been developed by using CO2 as a heat transfer fluid. Only two pipes are required by the network, thus allowing the recovery of waste heat from the cooling users to be valorized by the heating users. Understanding and pred ...
The primary cilium, a hair-like projection from the cellular membrane, is involved in fluid flow sensing. Bending the primary cilium is known to trigger several signaling pathways. In this study, the primary cilium is modeled as a thin beam undergoing larg ...
We experimentally investigated the spreading of fluid avalanches (i.e., fixed volumes of fluid) down an inclined flume. Emphasis was given to the velocity field within the head. Using specific imaging techniques, we were able to measure velocity profiles w ...
In the solution of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, partitioned procedures are modular algorithms that involve separate fluid and structure solvers that interact in an iterative framework through the exchange of suitable transmission conditions ...

We propose a two-fold approach to model reduction of fluid-structure interaction. The state equations for the fluid are solved with reduced basis methods. These are model reduction methods for parametric partial differential equations using well-chosen sna ...
We present a two-dimensional granular model for the mechanical behavior of an ensemble of globular grains during solidification. The grain structure is produced by a Voronoi tessellation based on an array of predefined nuclei. We consider the fluid flow ca ...
Interstitial fluid flow has been shown to affect the organization and behavior of cells in 3D environments in vivo and in vitro, yet the forces driving such responses are not clear. Due to the complex architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the ...
This paper constitutes the numerical counterpart of the mathematical framework introduced in Part I. We address the problem of flutter analysis of a coupled fluid–structure system involving an incompressible Newtonian fluid and a reduced structure. We use ...
We consider the incompressible, isothermal and inertialess flow of an Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluid in the absence of body forces. We report numerical results on the simulation of unsteady flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid by spectral element methods. Several tech ...
