We present a novel platform for the large-scale simulation of three-dimensional fibrous structures immersed in a Stokesian fluid and evolving under confinement or in free-space in …
In this paper, a recently developed direct numerical simulation technique, the Finite Element Fictitious Boundary Method (FEM-FBM)[K. Walayat et al.,“An efficient multi-grid finite element …

The gravitational settling of a flexible, permeable circular and planktonic particle drenched in a fluid which is assumed to be Newtonian and incompressible along with being viscous was …

We study the inertial settling of suspensions of flexible and rigid fibers using an immersed boundary method. The fibers considered are inextensible and slender, with an aspect ratio …
Semiflexible slender filaments are ubiquitous in nature and cell biology, including in the cytoskeleton, where reorganization of actin filaments allows the cell to move and divide …

The dynamics of a single highly elastic fibre settling under gravity in a very viscous fluid is studied numerically. We employ the bead model and multipole expansion of the Stokes …

We describe the shape of moderately flexible fibers settling under inertial conditions in dilute and semidilute suspension and examine the hydrodynamic forces on the fibers that create …
The dynamic response of flexible filaments immersed in viscous fluids is important in cell mechanics, as well as other biological and industrial processes. In this paper, we propose a …
The motion of flexible fibers through structured fluidic environments is ubiquitous in nature and industrial applications. Most often, their dynamics results from the complex interplay …
