An immersed boundary method for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in irregular
domains is developed using a local ghost cell approach. This method extends the solution …

We present a computational algorithm for fully resolved numerical simulation (FRS) of rigid
and deforming bodies moving in fluids. Given the deformation of the body in its own …

Fish are remarkable in their ability to maneuver and to control their body position. This ability
is the result of the coordinated movement of fins which extend from the body and form …

This paper describes a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based investigation of the
pectoral fin hydrodynamics of a bluegill sunfish. The pectoral fin of this fish undergoes …

Writing high-performance solvers for engineering applications is a delicate task. These
codes are often developed on an application to application basis, highly optimized to solve a …

The sharp interface immersed boundary method is assessed for suitability and accuracy in
simulating flow-induced vibration, specifically the phenomenon of vortex-induced vibration …

In this work, numerical simulations are employed to study hydrodynamic interactions in trout-
like three-dimensional (3D) fish bodies arranged in vertical and horizontal planes. The fish …
