What the webinar will address
Dr Succi will be presenting recent applications of the lattice Boltzmann method for the computational design of soft mesoscale materials, with a specific focus on the motion dense emulsions in confined microchannels with strictions and apertures. We will also explore the effects of changing geometrical parameters on the rheological properties of the flowing emulsion and on their dynamic morphology. In addition, Dr Succi will comment on the resort to machine-learning algorithms for the automatic identification and tracking of the droplet trajectories within the microflows.
The talk will be taking place on 31 March, from 1–2pm via Zoom – join us via this link.
About the Speaker
Dr Sauro Succi
Dr Succi serves as Senior Research Executive and Principal Investigator at the Center for Life Nano Sciences at la Sapienza of the Italian Institute of Technology, and Research Affiliate of the physics department at Harvard University. His research activity covers a broad range of topics related to complex states of flowing matter, such as thermonuclear plasmas, fluid turbulence, micro and nanofluidics, soft matter and quantum and subnuclear fluids, such as quark gluon plasmas.
Dr Succi is best known for his contributions to the early inception, development and application of the Lattice Boltzmann method, for which he has received a number of international awards, including the Alexander von Humboldt Award in Physics (2002), the APS 2017 Aneesur Rahman Prize in Computational Physics and the 2019 CECAM Berni Alder Prize for exceptional contributions to the microscopic simulation of matter. He is also an elected member of Academia Europaea (2015).
