The morphology of a mixture made of a polar active gel immersed in an isotropic passive fluid is studied numerically. Lattice Boltzmann method is adopted to solve the Navier-Stokes equation and coupled to a finite-difference scheme used to integrate the dynamic equations of the concentration and of… |

We consider a mathematical model for fluid-dynamic flows on networks
which is based on conservation laws. Road networks are considered as
graphs composed by arcs that meet at some junctions.
The crucial point is represented by junctions, where interactions
occurr and the problem is underdetermined… |

We explore the impact of geometrical corrugations on the near-wall flow properties of a soft material driven in a confined rough microchannel. By means of numerical simulations, we perform a quantitative analysis of the relation between the flow rate ? and the wall stress ?w for a number of setups… |

The starting transient of highly under-expanded supersonic jets is studied by means of very high resolution weighted essentially non oscillatory finite volume schemes, coupled with a positivity-preserving scheme in order to ensure positivity of pressure and density for high compression/expansion… |

A hybrid lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for binary mixtures based on the free-energy approach is proposed. Nonideal terms of the pressure tensor are included as a body force in the LBM kinetic equations, used
to simulate the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations. The convection-diffusion equation… |

The dynamics of inertial particles in Rayleigh-Benard convection, where both particles and fluid exhibit thermal expansion, is studied using direct numerical simulations (DNS) in the soft-turbulence regime. We consider the effect of particles with a thermal expansion coefficient larger than that of… |

The intracellular signalling network of the p53 protein plays important roles in genome protection and the control of cell cycle phase transitions. Recently observed oscillatory behaviour in single cells under stress conditions has inspired several research groups to simulate and study the dynamics… |

Alarms periodically emerge for viral pneumonia infections due to coronavirus. In all cases, these are zoonoses passing the barrier between species and infect humans. The legitimate concern of the international community is due to the fact that the new identified coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2 (… |
