A projection method for porous media flow
Nicholas J. Derr, Chris H. Rycroft
Flow through porous, elastically deforming media is present in a variety of natural contexts ranging from large-scale geophysics to cellular biology. In the case of incompressible…
Reciprocal swimming at intermediate Reynolds number
Nicholas J. Derr, Thomas Dombrowski, Chris H. Rycroft +1
In Stokes flow, Purcell's scallop theorem forbids objects with time-reversible (reciprocal) swimming strokes from moving. In the presence of inertia, this restriction is eased and…
Eulerian simulation of complex suspensions and biolocomotion in three dimensions
Yuexia L. Lin, Nicholas J. Derr, Chris H. Rycroft
We present a numerical method specifically designed for simulating three-dimensional fluid--structure interaction (FSI) problems based on the reference map technique (RMT). The RMT…
Flow-driven branching in a frangible porous medium
Nicholas J. Derr, David C. Fronk, Christoph A. Weber +3
Channel formation and branching is widely seen in physical systems where movement of fluid through a porous structure causes the spatiotemporal evolution of the medium in response…
