Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems commonly encountered in engineering and
biological applications involve geometrically complex flexible or rigid bodies undergoing …

Interest in the advancement of hydrokinetic energy conversion (HEC) technology has grown
substantially in recent years. The hydrokinetic industry has advanced beyond the initial …

Large-eddy simulation is performed to study the turbulence statistics and flow structures of
the water past a rotating axial-flow pump under different flow-rate working conditions. A …

Tidal current turbine is one of the innovative and emerging technologies of marine
renewable energies because it offers constant and predictable energy source that can be …

In this review, we introduce immersed boundary (IB) methods for fluid-structure interactions
(FSIs) of rigid and elastic bodies. IB methods impose momentum forcing on an Eulerian …

Laboratory experiments have yielded evidence suggestive of large-scale meandering
motions in the wake of an axial flow hydrokinetic turbine in a turbulent open channel flow …

Fish schooling is a remarkable biological behavior that is thought to provide hydrodynamic
advantages. Theoretical models have predicted significant reduction in swimming cost due …

We present a new numerical methodology for simulating fluid–structure interaction (FSI)
problems involving thin flexible bodies in an incompressible fluid. The FSI algorithm uses …

Stingrays, in contrast with many other aquatic animals, have flattened disk-shaped bodies
with expanded pectoral 'wings', which are used for locomotion in water. To discover the key …

Abstract Large Eddy Simulation on a grid composed of 3.8 billion points is utilized to
reproduce the wake of a marine propeller. Results are compared against Particle Imaging …
