🎉 Congratulations to Edoardo Cipriano on his latest research publication! I’m happy to share this work, published in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.
The work is a collaborative effort between CRECK Modeling and Prof. Popinet from Sorbonne Université in Paris, and it introduces a robust volume-of-fluid VOF model for simulating the evaporation of suspended droplets under various gravity conditions—essential for applications from combustion to microgravity studies. 🌍🚀

🔗 Open to the community: The framework is available on the open-source Basilisk platform, offering a valuable tool for researchers and engineers.

OpenSMOKE++ was used in OptiSMOKE++, a flexible toolbox for the optimization of chemical kinetics. The toolbox is the resultof a collaboration between the CRECK Modeling Lab at Politecnico di Milano and the Université Libre de Bruxelles. OptiSMOKE++ is described in a paper recently published on Computer Physics Communication with title: "OptiSMOKE++: A toolbox for optimization of chemical kinetic mechanisms".

The CRECK Modeling Lab is looking for candidates for a PhD position for a research project in collaboration with Department of Energy on hydrogen combustion 🔥. The project aims at developing and optimizing new burners fed with hydrogen to enhance efficiency, ensure safety, and minimize pollutant emissions.

OpenSMOKE++ was used for simulating the evaporation and combustion of isolated fuel droplets. The work is a collaboration between the CRECK Modeling Lab, Cornell University, University of San Diego California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories. The main results have been published on Fuel in a paper with title: "Simulating combustion of a seven-component surrogate for a gasoline/ethanol blend including soot formation and comparison with experiments".
