Pumping Patterns and Work Done during Peristalsis in Finite-length Elastic Tubes
Shashank Acharya, Wenjun Kou, Sourav Halder +4
Balloon dilation catheters are often used to quantify the physiological state of peristaltic activity in tubular organs and comment on their ability to propel fluid which is import…
The thermo-wetting instability driving Leidenfrost film collapse
Tom Y. Zhao, Neelesh A. Patankar
Above a critical temperature known as the Leidenfrost point (LFP), a heated surface can suspend a liquid droplet above a film of its own vapor. The insulating vapor film can be hig…
Brownian Dynamics of Fully Confined Suspensions of Rigid Particles Without Green's Functions
Brennan Sprinkle, Aleksandar Donev, Amneet Pal Singh Bhalla +1
We introduce a Rigid-Body Fluctuating Immersed Boundary (RB-FIB) method to perform large-scale Brownian dynamics simulations of suspensions of rigid particles in fully confined dom…
A DLM immersed boundary method based wave-structure interaction solver for high density ratio multiphase flows
Nishant Nangia, Neelesh A. Patankar, Amneet Pal Singh Bhalla
We present a robust immersed boundary (IB) method for high density ratio multiphase flows that is capable of modeling complex wave-structure interaction (WSI) problems arising in m…
