Parasitoid wasps of the smallest flying insects with bristled wings exhibit sophisticated flight
behaviors while challenging biomechanical limitations in miniaturization and low-speed flow …

We investigate the stability of the steady vertical path and the emerging trajectories of a
buoyancy-driven annular disk as the diameter of its central hole is varied. The steady and …

Several tiny insects have peculiar porous wings composed of many bristles and perform an
interesting passive flight known as parachuting. Despite numerous studies on the freefall of …

A formal framework to characterize and control/optimize the flow past permeable
membranes by means of a homogenization approach is proposed and applied to the wake …

We present results from a combined experimental and numerical investigation of the fluid-
structure interaction of cantilevered porous flexible strips, towed through a fluid bath. We …

We study the flow past a permeable sphere modeled using homogenization theory. The flow
through the porous medium is described by the Darcy law, in which the permeability …

We investigate the wake structure and the three-dimensional stability of the two-dimensional
von Kármán vortex street developing in the wake of a permeable circular cylinder. The flow …

The smallest flying insects often have bristled wings resembling feathers or combs. We
combined experiments and three-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the trade …

Fluid-driven subsurface fractures interact with a variety of heterogeneous elements in the
surrounding environment, including fluid-filled pores, material discontinuities, and other …

Biological filtration systems offer a sustainable alternative to existing engineered solutions.
In this computational work, we seek to optimize the surface coverage by an array of hairs to …
