Abstract
We review the lattice-Boltzmann (LB) method coupled with the immersed boundary (IB) method for the description of combined flow of particulate suspensions with immersed elastic objects. We describe the implementation of the combined LB-IB method into the open-source package ESPResSo. We present easy-to-use structures used to model a closed object in a simulation package, the definition of its elastic properties, and the interaction between the fluid and the immersed object. We also present the test cases with short examples of the code explaining the functionality of the new package.
