Conjugate heat transfer effects on flow boiling in microchannels (2022)
Journal Article
Municchi, F., El Mellas, I., Matar, O. K., & Magnini, M. (2022). Conjugate heat transfer effects on flow boiling in microchannels. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 195, Article 123166. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2022.123166

This article presents a computational study of saturated flow boiling in non-circular microchannels. The unit channel of a multi-microchannel evaporator, consisting of the fluidic channel and surrounding evaporator walls, is simulated and the conjuga...

Stochastic design for additive manufacture of true biomimetic populations (2022)
Journal Article
Groth, J., Magnini, M., Tuck, C., & Clare, A. (2022). Stochastic design for additive manufacture of true biomimetic populations. Additive Manufacturing, 55, Article 102739. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2022.102739

Current biomimetic designs do not incorporate naturally occurring variance. Instead, the same unit cell is repeatedly copied and pasted to create a pattern. Existing stochastic designs use the same randomness for all parameters. However, nature teach... Read More about Stochastic design for additive manufacture of true biomimetic populations.

Liquid film distribution around long gas bubbles propagating in rectangular capillaries (2022)
Journal Article
Magnini, M., Municchi, F., El Mellas, I., & Icardi, M. (2022). Liquid film distribution around long gas bubbles propagating in rectangular capillaries. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 148, Article 103939. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2021.103939

We present a systematic analysis of the bubble and liquid film dynamics corresponding to the propagation of long, isolated gas bubbles, within rectangular capillary channels of cross-sectional aspect-ratio ranging from 1 to 8. Direct numerical simula... Read More about Liquid film distribution around long gas bubbles propagating in rectangular capillaries.
