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 …

This review article traces the development of the Volume-Of-Solid immersed boundary
method, referred to as VOS-IB, over the last decade. Starting from its simple beginnings …

The propulsive performance of a pair of tandem flapping foils is sensitively dependent on the
spacing and phasing between them. Large increases in thrust and efficiency of the hind foil …

In the present work, we propose an optimization framework based on the active learning
method, which aims to quickly determine the conditions of tandem flapping wings for optimal …

A three-dimensional ice-water-structure interaction numerical model is developed to
simulate the ice breaking and water entry of rigid spheres. The algorithm employs the …

The system efficiency of a self-propelled flexible body is ill-defined, hence we introduce the
concept of quasi-propulsive efficiency, defined as the ratio of the power needed to tow a …

Rapid heating and cooling thermal cycle of metals in selective laser melting (SLM)
generates high tensile residual stress which leads to part distortion. However, how to fast …

This paper through the in-house code numerically examines the cavitation–vortex–
turbulence interaction mechanism. The high grid resolution can obtain a more detailed flow …

The objective of this work is to investigate the cavity dynamics during water entry of spheres
with varied structural density by a combined experimental and numerical method. Similar to …

An accurate Cartesian-grid treatment for intermediate Reynolds number fluid–solid
interaction problems is described. We first identify the inability of existing immersed …
