SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Towards the realization of Submerged Floating Tunnels
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 4 marzo nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Stefano Corazza condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Towards the realization of Submerged Floating Tunnels”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract\nSubmerged Floating Tunnels (SFTs) are underwater modular structures which are deemed to be a valuable option for crossing deep and long waterways\, such as sea straits\, fjords\, bays and alpine lakes. Compared to classical aerial bridges\, they are characterized by (1) lower construction costs per unit of length\, (2) reduced environmental impact due to a smaller land footprint\, and (3) the ability to operate in all weather conditions. However\, due to their inherent flexibility\, they are very prone to the effect of dynamic loads such as marine currents\, earthquakes\, traffic and hydrodynamic loadings.This talk will provide an overview of the most common structural typologies of SFTs\, highlighting key design challenges and issues related to the simulation of their dynamic behavior. The presentation will conclude with recent findings on both analytical and numerical modeling of the local dynamics of the mooring system. \nSpeaker’s bio \n\nStefano is a PhD Candidate in Structural\, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering (38° cycle). He holds a Master of Science in Structural Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, obtained in 2022\, and is currently enrolled in the third year of the PhD program. His research focuses on developing a multiscale approach to address the nonlinear dynamic behavior of slender offshore structural elements and to describe fatigue damage accumulation under hydrodynamic loading conditions\, by means of both numerical and analytical tools. \nIn his free time Stefano enjoys traveling\, hiking\, playing tennis and padel.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Uncertainty quantification and spatial biases assessment in precipitation forecasts: a methodology for real-time flood forecasting applications
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 18 marzo nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Enrico Gambini condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Uncertainty quantification and spatial biases assessment in precipitation forecasts: a methodology for real-time flood forecasting applications”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract\nAccurate meteorological forecasts are essential for mitigating flood impacts\, but uncertainty in convective precipitation positioning may significantly undermine flow predictions in small watersheds. A methodology is proposed to assess spatial biases in convection‐permitting model rainfall forecasts\, the procedure identifies preferential misplacement directions made by the meteorological model and incorporates this uncertainty into hydrological predictions. The approach was conducted on 64 significant convective rainfall events in the “hydraulic node of Milan” (Northern Italy) during 2013–2022. Quantitative precipitation forecasts from the MOLOCH (ISAC-CNR) meteorological model were compared with observed rainfall fields. Displacement errors were quantified using pattern matching\, revealing a consistent northeast bias. Kernel Density Estimation was then used to derive a bidimensional displacement probability density function\, this enables probabilistic forecast generation to quantify rainfall misplacement uncertainty effects on hydrological forecast. \nSpeaker’s bio \n\nEnrico holds a M.Sc in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering\, obtained at Politecnico di Milano in 2021. He is currently a PhD candidate (37-th cycle) in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering\, in his PhD he is collaborating with the civil protection of Lombardy Region (CFMR) doing research on the enhancement of regional flood early warning system. His research is mainly focused on the use of machine learning algorithms for flood forecasting\, nowcasting and flood warning applications\, as well as uncertainty quantification of meteorological predictions. \nIn his spare time\, he enjoys playing chess (with poor results)\, hiking\, climbing and skiing.

SUMMARY:Recent advances in the Particle Finite Element Method for fluid-structure interactions and multi-physics problems
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 26 Marzo si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:00 dal titolo “Recent advances in the Particle Finite Element Method for fluid-structure interactions and multi-physics problems“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Prof. Jean-Philippe Ponthot\, Professore presso l’Liège University. \nAbstract \nParticle Finite Element Method (PFEM) is a still rather young discretization method that seeks to merge the advantages of the classical FEM with those of modern particle-based methods\, such as SPH. To this end\, PFEM is designed as a Lagrangian method that combines computations over one time step using FEM with a fast remeshing algorithm\, thereby avoiding mesh distortions consequent to very large deformations\, such as those encountered in fluid flow with free surfaces. The method is thus quite flexible and can be applied to both solid and fluid material behavior. \nPFEM has proven to be a very versatile method that not only allows tracking free evolving boundaries but also take into account thermo-mechanical coupling and thus tackle more complex multi-physics problems. For instance\, thanks to its Lagrangian character and its ability to automatically track evolving free surfaces and interfaces\, PFEM allows handling phase change due to solidification\, melting and vaporization\, as well as capillary and Marangoni effects from surface tension. These physical ingredients are highly valuable for simulating melt pool dynamics\, for example\, in the context of additive manufacturing. \nMultiphysics problems can lead to models that are inherently incompatible or highly difficult to combine within the same numerical implementation. In such a case\, it is convenient to split the physical models and solve them separately using dedicated software. Although this approach has been used mostly to address fluid-structure interaction problems in PFEM\, it has also been used to couple thermo-mechanical models\, for example\, in the simulation of welding processes. \nThis work gathers recent advances in the PFEM with special attention to the incorporation of multi-physics models and their applications. In addition\, numerical examples of the PFEM will illustrate fluid-structure interaction problems including contact between different solid parts and plastic deformation of some components of the system as well as biomechanical applications.
