Hopscotching jellyfish: combining different duty cycle kinematics can lead to enhanced swimming performance
(IOP Publishing, 2021-10-26)Jellyfish (Medusozoa) have been deemed the most energy-efficient animals in the world. Their bell morphology and relatively simple nervous systems make them attractive to robotocists. Although, the science community has ... -
IB2d Reloaded: a more powerful Python and MATLAB implementation of the immersed boundary method
(Wiley, 2018-12)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 ... -
Modeling the prescription opioid epidemic
(Springer, 2019-04-22)Opioid addiction has become a global epidemic and a national health crisis in recent years, with the number of opioid overdose fatalities steadily increasing since the 1990s. In contrast to the dynamics of a typical illicit ... -
Passive concentration dynamics incorporated into the library IB2d, a two-dimensional implementation of the immersed boundary method
(IOP Publishing, 2022-03-10)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 ... -
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 ...
