Biological flows in swimming and flying bio-locomotion usually involve intricate flexible or
rigid structures that undergo large deformations and displacements, as well as rich …

I. Introduction he last decade has seen a tremendous rise in the popularity of immersed
boundary methods[1-6]. The primary factor driving this is the relative ease with which this …

We present and analyze a series of benchmark tests regarding the application of the
immersed boundary (IB) method to viscoelastic flows through and around non-trivial …

ABSTRACT The Immersed Boundary method has long been used to study fluid-structure
interaction problems, particularly in biological applications but increasingly with an …

This article presents the evolutionary history of immersed boundary methods (IBMs), tracing
their origins to the very beginning of computational fluid dynamics in the late 1950s all the …

We develop a sharp interface immersed boundary (IB) method to simulate the interactions
between fluid flows and deformable moving bodies. Fluid–solid interfaces are captured …

This paper is concerned with the mathematical structure of the immersed boundary (IB)
method, which is intended for the computer simulation of fluid–structure interaction …

Immersed boundary methods (IBMs) are versatile and efficient computational techniques to
solve flow problems in complex geometric configurations that retain the simplicity and …

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems commonly encountered in engineering and
