Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems commonly encountered in engineering and
biological applications involve geometrically complex flexible or rigid bodies undergoing …

The flapping or bending of a flexible planar structure in a surrounding fluid flow, which
includes the flapping of flags and the self-streamlining of flexible bodies, constitutes a …

The locomotion of a flapping flexible plate in a viscous incompressible stationary fluid is
numerically studied by an immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method for the fluid and a …

A fish may gain hydrodynamic benefits from being a member of a school. Inspired by fish
schools, a two-dimensional simulation was performed for flexible fins propelled in tandem …

The mechanism by which aggregates of active swimmers are formed is an intriguing
problem. In this Letter we show that, for two tandem self-propelled filaments driven by …

The dynamics of an inverted flexible plate with a free leading-edge and a fixed trailing-edge
in a uniform flow has been studied numerically by an immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann …

A momentum exchange-based immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method, which is used
to solve the fluid–flexible-structure-interaction problem, is introduced in this paper. The …

Two tandem flexible flags in viscous flow were modelled by numerical simulation using an
improved version of the immersed boundary method. The flexible flapping flag and the …

Energy saving mechanisms are ubiquitous in nature. Aerodynamic and hydrodynamic
drafting, vortice uplift, Bernoulli suction, thermoregulatory coupling, path following, physical …

The use of flexible plates or “flags” as vortex generators inside a channel was successfully
demonstrated as an alternative heat transfer enhancement technique. This paper aims to …
