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 ...

The immersed boundary (IB) method is an elegant way to fully couple the motion of a fluid and deformations of an immersed elastic structure. In that vein, the IB2d software allows for expedited explorations of fluid-structure ...

In this paper, we present an open-source software library that can be used to numerically simulate the advection and diffusion of a chemical concentration or heat density in a viscous fluid where a moving, elastic boundary ...

We explore an embryonic heart model that couples electrophysiology and muscle-force generation to flow induced using a 2𝘋 fluid-structure interaction framework based on the immersed boundary method. The propagation of ...
