Although dispersal is generally viewed as a crucial determinant for the fitness of any
organism, our understanding of its role in the persistence and spread of plant populations …

Flying insects are known to orient themselves over large distances using minute amounts of
odors. Some bear pectinate antennae of remarkable architecture thought to improve …

In this paper, we present an open-source software library that can be used to numerically
simulate the advection and diffusion of a chemical concentration or heat density in a viscous …

We present results from an experimental investigation of a viscous fluid driven through and
around porous disks at low and moderate Reynolds number conditions: Re= O (10− 4–10 …

Numerous fluid-structure interaction problems in biology have been investigated using the
immersed boundary method. The advantage of this method is that complex geometries, eg …

The movement of plankton is often dictated by local flow patterns, particularly during storms
and in environments with strong flows. Reefs, macrophyte beds, and other immersed …

Multiscale modeling of marine and aerial plankton has traditionally been difficult to address
holistically due to the challenge of resolving individual locomotion dynamics while being …

In this paper, we solve the Brinkman equation for unidirectional, steady, incompressible and
Newtonian flow through a duct of uniform cross-section in the shape of a regular N-gon …

All organisms must deal with fluid transport and interaction, whether it be internal, such as
lungs moving air for the extraction of oxygen, or external, such as the expansion and …
