Journal ArticleDOI

Direct numerical simulations of interface dynamics to link capillary pressure and total surface energy

Andrea Ferrari, +1 more
- 01 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors perform direct numerical simulations of drainage by solving Navier-Stokes equations in the pore space and employing the Volume Of Fluid (VOF) method to track the evolution of the fluid-fluid interface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Challenges in modeling unstable two‐phase flow experiments in porous micromodels

Andrea Ferrari, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed comparison of pore-scale simulations and experiments for unstable primary drainage in porous micromodels is presented, which can be used to complement experimental observations with information about quantities that are difficult or impossible to measure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical and psychosocial risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders in Brazilian and Italian nurses

Michele Carugno, +8 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: A role of somatizing tendency in predisposition to musculoskeletal disorders, acting as an important mediator of the individual response to triggering exposures, such as workload, is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Screening of tropically derived, multi-trait plant growth- promoting rhizobacteria and evaluation of corn and soybean colonization ability.

Bruna Durante Batista, +10 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Two multi-trait PGP strains, RZ2MS9 (Bacillus sp.) and Rz2MS16 (Burkholderia ambifaria), expressively promoted corn and soybean growth under greenhouse conditions, showing increases of more than 47% for both strains and crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inertial effects during irreversible meniscus reconfiguration in angular pores

Andrea Ferrari, +1 more
- 01 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the dynamics of a meniscus in a corner as it can be encountered in angular pores and investigate this process in detail by means of direct numerical simulations that solve the Navier-Stokes equations in the pore space and employ the Volume of Fluid method (VOF) to track the evolution of the interface.
