**25 March 2004 Ph.D. in Energetics (XVI cycle) Univ. of Rome “La Sapienza”: Thesis (in English) “Kinetic schemes for fluid flows with heat transfer”
Description: A non isothermal lattice Boltzmann model with doubled populations has been used for hydrodynamic and thermal fields simulations. Temperature and heat flux are expressed in terms of kinetic moments, of the population dedicated to thermal phenomena description, of zero and first order respectively in the space of velocity; density and momentum are expressed in terms of kinetic moments of the populations dedicated to hydrodynamic phenomenon. It makes the Prandtl number a tunable parameter. In addition, thermal field due to viscous heat dissipation, can be evaluated. With respect to multi speed models, the scheme presents better stability. A new boundary condition for thermal population has been proposed, which provides good results for both imposed wall temperature and wall heat flux conditions, beyond the adiabatic condition of previous schemes

Description: by means of velocity measurements into a turbulent boundary layer of a plane plate, performed with hot wire anemometer used at constant temperature, a new form of scaling law for wall turbulence has been verified; in the presence of high velocity gradients, this law results more appropriate with respect to Kolmogorov inertial range theory, which holds for homogeneous and isotropic turbulence.
