Abstract:
2010/2011<br>In the past two decades, the growing interest in the study of fluid flows involving discontinuities, such as shocks or high gradients, where a quadratic-convergent method may not provide a satisfactory solution, gave a notable impulse to the employment of high-order techniques. The present dissertation comprises the analysis and numerical testing of two high-order methods. The first one, belonging to the discontinuous finite-element class, is the discontinuous control-volume/finite-element method (DCVFEM) for the advection/ diffusion equation. The second method refers to the hi

Abstract:
2009/2010<br>Fluid structure interaction (FSI) is one of fundamental phenomena encountered everywhere in nature or in industrial systems as well as one of the most studied and the most challenging topics in the fluid mechanics. Its research presents the core objective of this dissertation, along with experimental study of artificial heart devices. Better understanding of FSI could turn the still unexploited phenomenon into a powerful tool for resolving wealthy of multi-physics problems.

Abstract:
2011/2012<br>Evaporation and condensation of thin liquid films on solid surfaces are common elements of industrial processes. In many cases they have a significant impact on the physics of the studied case. At the same time, experimental studies can prove to be troublesome, mostly because of the amount of possible setups, complex geometries of interest, numerous materials being used and cost. For that reason it is reasonable to study this phenomena using numerical methods. Having the advantage in speed and cost of performance, computational studies become a valuable tool.

Tipicamente l'acqua per il risciacquo finale viene portata ad una temperatura di 70°C che scalda le stoviglie permettendo a queste di immagazzinare energia termica.

Abstract:
2011/2012<br>In questo lavoro l'analisi dello spazio delle fasi viene applicata a tre sistemi di equazioni differenziali, due riguardanti i fluidi geofisici e uno riguardante le onde termoelastiche.

Abstract:
2013/2014<br>Renewable energy resources, such as wind, are available worldwide. Locating areas with high and continual wind sources are crucial in pre-planning of wind farms. Vast offshore areas are characterized with higher and more reliable wind resources in comparison with continental areas. However, offshore wind energy production is in a quite preliminary phase. Elaborating the potential productivity of wind farms over such areas is challenging due to sparse in situ observations. Mediterranean basin is not an exception.

Abstract:
2012/2013<br>Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) occurs when a shallow layer of fluid is heated from below. It is a challenging subject in non-linear physics, with many important applications in natural and engineering systems. Because of the complexity of the governing equations, analytical progress in understanding convection has been slow, and laboratory experiments and numerical simulations have assumed increased importance. In regard to numerical work, Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) techniques have proved to be reliable and powerful tool to understand the physics since it provides

Abstract:
2012/2013<br>The subject of modelling flow near wall is still open in turbulent wall bounded flows, since there is no wall layer model which works perfectly. Most of the present models work well in attached flows, specially for very simple geometries like plane channel flows. Weakness of the models appears in complex geometries, and many of them do not capture flow separation accurately in detached flows, specially when the slope of wall changes gradually. In many engineering applications, we deal with complex geometries. A possible way to simulate flows influenced by complex geometr

2012/2013<br>A novel high-resolution, eddy-resolving numerical model (LES-COAST) is used to investigate currents, mixing and water renewal in Barcelona harbour and Taranto bay. These environmental sites are of particular importance due to the interplay between touristic and commercial activities, requiring detailed and high-definition studies of water quality within the harbour. We use Large Eddy Simulation (LES) which directly resolves the anisotropic and energetic large scales of motion and parametrizes the small, dissipative, ones.
