The estimates of hydrodynamic forces for a group structures represent challenge the design offshore systems, as they are subject to changes with variation in flow profiles. fluctuating effects may be more pronounced or, on contrary, suppressed if cross-sectional shape an array is altered. present work performs series 2D numerical simulations past six identical stationary cylinders three distinc...

We theoretically study the adhesion and membrane-mediated interaction of cylindrical colloids to a flat fluid membrane. There are two ways to approach this problem. The first way, based on energy, requires finding the equilibrium shape of the membrane given the placement of the particle(s). In order to do so, we need to know how the energy of the surface depends on its shape (i.e. the surface H...

A high-order spectral difference (SD) method for solving the Navier-Stokes equations on moving, deformable unstructured grids has been developed [1]. In this paper, the SD method and the artificial compressibility method (ACM) are integrated with a dual time-stepping scheme to model unsteady incompressible viscous flow past an inline tube bundle of cylinders equally sized (diameter = d) and spa...
