Under the sea: Pulsing corals in ambient flow
Nicholas A. Battista, Julia E. Samson, Shilpa Khatri +1
While many organisms filter feed and exchange heat or nutrients in flow, few benthic organisms also actively pulse to enhance feeding and exchange. One example is the pulsing soft…
Bifurcations in valveless pumping techniques from a coupled fluid-structure-electrophysiology model in heart development
Nicholas A. Battista, Laura A. Miller
We explore an embryonic heart model that couples electrophysiology and muscle-force generation to flow induced using a fluid-structure interaction framework based on the immer…
Three-dimensional low Reynolds number flows near biological filtering and protective layers
W. Christopher Strickland, Laura A. Miller, Arvind Santhanakrishnan +3
Mesoscale filtering and protective layers are replete throughout the natural world. Within the body, arrays of extracellular proteins, microvilli, and cilia can act as both protect…
Pulsing corals: A story of scale and mixing
Julia E. Samson, Nicholas A. Battista, Shilpa Khatri +1
Effective methods of fluid transport vary across scale. A commonly used dimensionless number for quantifying the effective scale of fluid transport is the Reynolds number, Re, whic…
IB2d Reloaded: a more powerful Python and MATLAB implementation of the immersed boundary method
Nicholas Battista, Christopher Strickland, Aaron Barrett +1
The immersed boundary method (IB) is an elegant way to fully couple the motion of a fluid and deformations of an immersed elastic structure. In that vein, the IB2d software allows…
IB2d: a Python and MATLAB implementation of the immersed boundary method
Nicholas A. Battista, W. Christopher Strickland, Laura A. Miller
The development of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software involves trade-offs between ease of use, generality, performance, and cost. Typically there are large learning curves…
