Modelling of the Dynamics of an immersed body in a microchannel with stenosis using the immersed boundary method
In the present study, the combination of lattice Boltzmann and immersed boundary methods is used to simulate the motion and deformation of a flexible body. Deformation of the body is studied in microchannel with stenosis and the effect of the flexibility changes on its deformation is investigated. The obtained results in the present manuscript show that by increasing the elasticity modulus, the...
متن کاملThe immersed boundary method : a
In this paper we consider a modiication of the immersed boundary method based on a nite element approximation of the uid. Besides some theoretical considerations, we present two dimensional numerical examples which connrm the good behavior of the computed solutions.
متن کاملSimulating the Fluid Dynamics of Natural and Prosthetic Heart Valves Using the Immersed Boundary Method
The immersed boundary method is both a general mathematical framework and a particular numerical approach to problems of fluid-structure interaction. In the present work, we describe the application of the immersed boundary method to the simulation of the fluid dynamics of heart valves, including a model of a natural aortic valve and a model of a chorded prosthetic mitral valve. Each valve is m...
متن کاملFrom Immersed Boundary Method to Immersed Continuum Method
The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the newly proposed immersed continuum method in conjunction with the traditional treatment of fluidstructure interaction problems, the immersed boundary method, the extended immersed boundary method, the immersed finite element method, and the fictitious domain method. In particular, the key aspects of the immersed continuum method in com...
متن کاملSpatially Heterogeneous Biofilm Simulations using an Immersed Boundary Method with Lagrangian Nodes Defined by Bacterial Locations
In this work we consider how surface-adherent bacterial biofilm communities respond in flowing systems. We simulate the fluid-structure interaction and separation process using the immersed boundary method. In these simulations we model and simulate different density and viscosity values of the biofilm than that of the surrounding fluid. The simulation also includes breakable springs connecting...
