A remeshed vortex method for mixed rigid/soft body fluid--structure interaction

Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Mattia Gazzola

We outline a 2D algorithm for solving incompressible flow--structure interaction problems for mixed rigid/soft body representations, within a consistent framework based on the reme…

Time-dependent heterogeneity leads to transient suppression of the COVID-19 epidemic, not herd immunity

Alexei V. Tkachenko, Sergei Maslov, Ahmed Elbanna +3

Epidemics generally spread through a succession of waves that reflect factors on multiple timescales. On short timescales, super-spreading events lead to burstiness and overdispers…

Modeling COVID-19 dynamics in Illinois under non-pharmaceutical interventions

George N. Wong, Zachary J. Weiner, Alexei V. Tkachenko +3

We present modeling of the COVID-19 epidemic in Illinois, USA, capturing the implementation of a Stay-at-Home order and scenarios for its eventual release. We use a non-Markovian a…
