Discrete Boltzmann modeling of multiphase flows: hydrodynamic and thermodynamic non-equilibrium effects

A discrete Boltzmann model (DBM) is developed to investigate the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic non-equilibrium (TNE) effects in phase separation processes. The interparticle force drives changes and the gradient force, induced by gradients of macroscopic quantities, opposes them. In this paper, we…

Stability of Direct Quadrature methods for systems of Volterra integral equations.

Low Mach number flows in time-dependent domains

We perform a multiple time scale, single space scale analysis of a compressible fluid in a time-dependent domain, when the time variations of the boundary are small with respect to the acoustic velocity. We introduce an average operator with respect to the fast time. The averaged leading order…

Theoretical model for diffusion-reaction based drug delivery from a multilayer spherical capsule

Controlled drug delivery from a multilayer spherical capsule is used for several therapeutic applications. Developing a theoretical understanding of mass transfer in the multilayer capsule is critical for understanding and optimizing targeted drug delivery. This paper presents an analytical…

Colloquium: Large scale simulations on GPU clusters

Graphics processing units (GPU) are currently used as a cost-effective platform forcomputer simulations and big-data processing. Large scale applications require thatmultiple GPUs work together but the efficiency obtained with cluster of GPUs is, at times,sub-optimal because the GPU features are…

New Lower Bounds on the Weighted Chromatic Number of a Graph

Il lavoro presenta dei lower bound sul numero cromatico di un grafo con pesi sui nodi.

An all-leader agent-based model for turning and flocking birds

Starting from recent experimental observations of starlings and jackdaws, we propose a minimal agent-based mathematical model for bird flocks based on a system of second-order delayed stochastic differential equations with discontinuous (both in space and time) right-hand side. The model is…

Experimental study on the atmospheric delay based on GPS, SAR interferometry, and numerical weather model data

In this paper, we present the results of an experiment aiming to compare measurements of atmospheric delay by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry and GPS techniques to estimates by numerical weather prediction. Maps of the differential atmospheric delay are generated by processing a set…

La Matematica per i beni culturali: le bellezze perdute dell'Acropoli
