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 …

Usually, a body conforming grid is being used for computing the flow around an arbitrary
body. This approach requires coordinate transformations and/or complex grid generation …

The immersed boundary method is a methodology for dealing with boundary conditions at
fluid–fluid and fluid–solid interfaces. The immersed boundary method has been attracting …

An improved version of the immersed boundary (IB) method is developed for simulating
flexible filaments in a uniform flow. The proposed IB method is based on an efficient Navier …

We consider the flapping stability and response of a thin two-dimensional flag of high
extensional rigidity and low bending rigidity. The three relevant non-dimensional parameters …

We have introduced a modified penalty approach into the flow-structure interaction solver
that combines an immersed boundary method (IBM) and a multi-block lattice Boltzmann …

Like many problems in biofluid mechanics, cardiac mechanics can be modeled as the
dynamic interaction of a viscous incompressible fluid (the blood) and a (visco-) elastic …

We establish through numerical simulation conditions for optimal undulatory propulsion for a
single fish, and for a pair of hydrodynamically interacting fish, accounting for linear and …

A numerical approach based on the Lattice Boltzmann and Immersed Boundary methods is
proposed to tackle the problem of the interaction of moving and/or deformable slender solids …
