Effects of varying inhalation duration and respiratory rate on human airway flow
Manikantam G. Gaddam, Arvind Santhanakrishnan
Studies of flow through the human airway have shown that inhalation time (IT) and secondary flow structures can play important roles in particle deposition. However, the effects of…
Aerodynamic interaction of bristled wing pairs in fling
Vishwa T. Kasoju, Arvind Santhanakrishnan
Tiny flying insects of body lengths under 2 mm use the `clap-and-fling' mechanism with bristled wings for lift augmentation and drag reduction at chord-based Reynolds number ()…
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…
Broad Leaves in Strong Flow
Laura Miller, Arvind Santhanakrishnan
Flexible broad leaves are thought to reconfigure in the wind and water to reduce the drag forces that act upon them. Simple mathematical models of a flexible beam immersed in a two…
Aerodynamics of the Smallest Flying Insects
Laura A. Miller, Steven Harenber, Ty Hedrick +3
We present fluid dynamics videos of the flight of some of the smallest insects including the jewel wasp, \textit{Ampulex compressa}, and thrips, \textit{Thysanoptera} spp. The frui…
A numerical study of the effects of bell pulsation dynamics and oral arms on the exchange currents generated by the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea spp
Christina Hamlet, Arvind Santhanakrishnan, Laura A. Miller
Mathematical and experimental studies of the flows generated by jellyfish have focused primarily on mechanisms of swimming. More recent work has also considered the fluid dynamics…
