Analysis of propeller bearing loads by CFD. Part II: Transient maneuvers

The numerical study presented in Part I (Dubbioso et al., 2017) on the bearing loads developed by the propellers of a twin screw model during quasi-steady conditions is extended to transient maneuvers. In the previous study, numerical simulations highlighted that the hydrodynamic loads might…

Relativistic lattice kinetic theory: Recent developments and future prospects

In this paper, we review recent progress in relativistic lattice kinetic theory and its applications to relativistic hydrodynamics. Two methods for constructing the discretised distribution function, moment matching and projection onto orthogonal polynomials, are described. Extensions to ultra-high…

Groundwater flow in a fissurised porous stratum

Barenblatt e. a. introduced a fluid model for groundwater flow in fissurised porous media. The system consists of two diffusion equations for the groundwater levels in, respectively, the porous bulk and the system of cracks. The equations are coupled by a fluid exchange term. Numerical evidence…

Wall accumulation of bacteria with different motility patterns

We systematically investigate the role of different swimming patterns on the concentration distribution of bacterial suspensions confined between two flat walls, by considering wild-type motility Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which perform Run and Tumble and Run and Reverse patterns…

A reliable decision support system for fresh food supply chain management

The paper proposes a decision support system (DSS) for the supply chain of packaged fresh and highly perishable products. The DSS combines a unique tool for sales forecasting with order planning which includes an individual model selection system equipped with ARIMA, ARIMAX and transfer function…

Large deviations of the interference in the Ginibre network model

Lattice Boltzmann simulations of phase-separating flows at large density ratios: the case of doubly-attractive pseudo-potentials

Extending bootstrap AMG for clustering of attributed graphs

In this paper we propose a new approach to detect clusters in undirected graphs with attributed vertices. We incorporate structural and attribute similarities between the vertices in an augmented graph by creating additional vertices and edges as proposed in [1, 2]. The augmented graph is then…

Lattice Boltzmann study of chemically-driven self-propelled droplets

We numerically study the behavior of self-propelled liquid droplets whose motion is triggered by a Marangoni-like flow. This latter is generated by variations of surfactant concentration which affect the droplet surface tension promoting its motion. In the present paper a model for droplets with a…

Second-order closure in stratified turbulence: Simulations and modeling of bulk and entrainment regions

The parametrization of small-scale turbulent fluctuations in convective systems and in the presence of strong stratification is a key issue for many applied problems in oceanography, atmospheric science, and planetology. In the presence of stratification, one needs to cope with bulk turbulent…
