Flagellum Pumping Efficacy in Shear-Thinning Viscoelastic Fluids
Aaron Barrett, Aaron L. Fogelson, M. Gregory Forest +3
Microorganism motility often takes place within complex, viscoelastic fluid environments, e.g., sperm in cervicovaginal mucus and bacteria in biofilms. In such complex fluids, stra…

Benchmarking the Immersed Boundary Method for Viscoelastic Flows
Cole Gruninger, Aaron Barrett, Fuhui Fang +2
We present and analyze a series of benchmark tests regarding the application of the immersed boundary (IB) method to viscoelastic flows through and around non-trivial, stationary g…
