Uncertainty quantification reveals the physical constraints on pumping by peristaltic hearts
(The Royal Society, 2020-09-09)
Most biological functional systems are complex, and this complexity is a fundamental driver of diversity. Because input parameters interact in complex ways, a holistic understanding of functional systems is key to understanding ...
Diving into a simple anguilliform swimmer’s sensitivity
(Oxford University Press, 2020-09-16)
Computational models of aquatic locomotion range from modest individual simple swimmers in 2D to sophisticated 3D multi-swimmer models that attempt to parse collective behavioral dynamics. Each of these models contain a ...
A semi-automated finite difference mesh creation method for use with immersed boundary software IB2d and IBAMR
(IOP Publishing, 2020-11-27)
Numerous fluid-structure interaction problems in biology have been investigated using the immersed boundary method. The advantage of this method is that complex geometries, e.g., internal or external morphology, can easily ...
