An incompressible Eulerian method for fluid-structure interaction with mixed soft and rigid solids
Xiaolin Wang, Ken Kamrin, Chris H. Rycroft
We present a general simulation approach for incompressible fluid--structure interactions in a fully Eulerian framework using the reference map technique (RMT). The approach is sui…
Dynamics and locomotion of flexible foils in a frictional environment
Xiaolin Wang, Silas Alben
Over the past few decades, oscillating flexible foils have been used to study the physics of organismal propulsion in different fluid environments. Here we extend this work to a st…
Stability and scalability of piezoelectric flags
Xiaolin Wang, Silas Alben, Chenyang Li +1
We investigate the effect of piezoelectric (PZT) material on the flutter speed, vibration mode and frequency, and energy harvesting power and efficiency of a flexible flag in vario…
Optimizing snake locomotion on an inclined plane
Xiaolin Wang, Matthew T. Osborne, Silas Alben
We develop a model to study the locomotion of snakes on an inclined plane. We determine numerically which snake motions are optimal for two retrograde traveling-wave body shapes---…
