In this study, the immersed boundary-thermal lattice Boltzmann method has been used to simulate non-Newtonian fluid flow over a heated circular cylinder. The direct-forcing algorithm has been employed to couple the off-lattice obstacles and on-lattice fluid nodes. To investigate the effect of… |

We present the results of our numerical simulations of the Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence, performed using a recently proposed (Sbragaglia et al 2009 J. Fluid Mech. 628 299, Scagliarini et al 2010 Phys. Fluids 22 055101) lattice Boltzmann method that can describe consistently a thermal compressible… |

In the wide scenario of the optimization techniques, a large number of algorithms are inspired by natural processes, in many different ways. One of the latest is the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) Atashpaz-Gargari and Lucas (2007), judged by their authors as very efficient and competitive… |

In transportation networks with limited capacities and travel times on the arcs, a class of problems attracting a growing scientific interest is represented by the optimal routing and scheduling of given amounts of flow to be transshipped from the origin points to the specific destinations in… |

This paper presents the results of a large experimental and numerical campaign aimed to the analysis of the interference effect for a fast catamaran. Several separation distances are considered; data for resistance, sinkage and trim are collected by towing tank experiments for Froude number ranging… |

The societal impact of traffic is a long-standing and complex problem. We focus on the estimation of ground-level ozone production due to vehicular traffic. We propose a comprehensive computational approach combining four consecutive modules: a traffic simulation module, an emission module, a… |
