Extracting qˆ in event-by-event hydrodynamics and the centrality/energy puzzle
2017
In our analysis, we combine event-by-event hydrodynamics, within the EKRT formulation, with jet quenching -ASW Quenching Weights- to obtain high- for charged particles at RHIC and LHC energies for different centralities. By defining a K-factor that quantifies the departure of from an ideal estimate, , we fit the single-inclusive experimental data for charged particles. This K-factor is larger at RHIC than at the LHC but, surprisingly, it is almost independent of the centrality of the collision. peerReviewed
SPH modeling of blood flow in cerebral aneurysms
Gli aneurismi cerebrali sono dilatazioni patologiche di arterie cerebrali. Queste patologie hanno un intrinseco rischio di rottura con conseguenti emorragie intracraniche. Sebbene i meccanismi di formazione, crescita e rottura degli aneurismi cerebrali non sono ancora del tutto compresi, è comunemente riconosciuto che in questi processi i fattori emodinamici giocano un ruolo molto importante. Le simulazioni numeriche possono fornire utili informazioni sull'emodinamica e possono essere usate per applicazioni cliniche. Nei tradizionali metodi numerici basati su una griglia di calcolo il processo di discretizzazione dei vasi cerebrali sui quali insiste un aneurisma è molto complesso. D’altra p…
Enhancing the Iterative Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method
2021
Motivated by recent research on the iterative approach proposed for the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method, some ideas to improve the process are introduced. The standard procedure is enhanced iterating on the residuals preserving the matrix-free nature of the process. The method is appealing providing reasonable results with disordered data distribution too and no kernel variations are needed in the approximation. This work moves forward with a novel formulation requiring a lower number of iterations to reach a desired accuracy. The computational procedure is described and some results are introduced to appreciate the proposed formulation.
