Numerical simulations are extensively used to investigate the motion of suspended particles
in a fluid and their influence on the dynamics of the overall flow. Contexts range from the …

Bio-inspired design and the broader field of design-by-analogy have been the basis of
numerous innovative designs throughout history; yet there remains much to be understood …

We develop a rigid multiblob method for numerically solving the mobility problem for
suspensions of passive and active rigid particles of complex shape in Stokes flow in …

We present a novel platform for the large-scale simulation of three-dimensional fibrous
structures immersed in a Stokesian fluid and evolving under confinement or in free-space in …

The interaction of fibers in a viscous (Stokes) fluid plays a crucial role in industrial and
biological processes, such as sedimentation, rheology, transport, cell division, and …

Recent advances in micro-and nanoscale fabrication techniques allow for the construction of
rigid, helically shaped microswimmers that can be actuated using applied magnetic fields …

In swimming microorganisms and the cell cytoskeleton, inextensible fibers resist bending
and twisting, and interact with the surrounding fluid to cause or resist large-scale fluid …

We develop a Fluctuating Immersed Boundary (FIB) method for performing Brownian
dynamics simulations of confined particle suspensions. Unlike traditional methods which …

Flexible filaments and fibres are essential components of important complex fluids that
appear in many biological and industrial settings. Direct simulations of these systems that …

In this paper, the boundary element method (BEM) based on the elasticity theory is
developed for two-dimensional (2-D) thin-structural problems with thickness-to-length ratio …
