Experimental Bench Validation of a Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction Model of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Dynamics

Jae H. Lee, Paul Ahern, Anh D. Nguyen +4

Purpose: This study extends our fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework for surgical bioprosthetic heart valves in an experimental pulse duplicator to a transcatheter aortic va…

Drag on a partially immersed sphere at the capillary scale

Robert Hunt, Ze Zhao, Eli Silver +3

We study the drag on a centimetric sphere in a uniform flow in the presence of a free surface as a function of submergence depth. Through direct force measurements in a custom benc…

SurferBot: A wave-propelled aquatic vibrobot

Eugene Rhee, Robert Hunt, Stuart J. Thomson +1

Nature has evolved a vast array of strategies for propulsion at the air-fluid interface. Inspired by a survival mechanism initiated by the honeybee (Apis mellifera) trapped on the…

Enhanced diffusivity and skewness of a diffusing tracer in the presence of an oscillating wall

Lingyun Ding, Robert Hunt, Hunter Woodie +1

We develop a theory of enhanced diffusivity and skewness of the longitudinal distribution of a diffusing tracer advected by a periodic time-varying shear flow in a straight channel…

Cluster formation and self-assembly in stratified fluids: a novel mechanism for particulate aggregation

Roberto Camassa, Daniel M. Harris, Robert Hunt +2

An extremely broad and important class of phenomena in nature involves the settling and aggregation of matter under gravitation in fluid systems. Some examples include: sedimenting…
