Jellyfish nerve nets provide insight into the origins of nervous systems, as both their
taxonomic position and their evolutionary age imply that jellyfish resemble some of the …

We present a numerical model to simulate the growth and deformation of a viscoelastic
biofilm in shear flow under different nutrient conditions. The mechanical interaction between …

The immersed boundary (IB) method is an elegant way to fully couple the motion of a fluid
and deformations of an immersed elastic structure. In that vein, the IB2d software allows for …

Jellyfish are majestic, energy-efficient, and one of the oldest species that inhabit the oceans.
It is perhaps the second item, their efficiency, that has captivated scientists for decades into …

We develop a new computational method to solve viscous incompressible fluid flow. This
method is an extension of the Derivative-Free Loss Method, which solves elliptic and …

We present Aquarium, a differentiable fluid-structure interaction solver for robotics that offers
stable simulation, accurately coupled fluid-robot physics in two dimensions, and full …

Computational scientists have investigated swimming performance across a multitude of
different systems for decades. Most models depend on numerous model input parameters …

Organs-on-chips composed of a porous membrane-separated, double-layered channels are
used widely in elucidating the effects of cell co-culture and flow shear on biological …

While fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems are ubiquitous in various applications from
cell biology to aerodynamics, they involve huge computational overhead. In this paper, we …

A cell's ability to change shape is one of the most fundamental biological processes and is
essential for maintaining healthy organisms. When the ability to control shape goes awry, it …
