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 …
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 …
