The computational cost of the boundary-condition-enforced immersed boundary method (IBM) increases in the order of $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ as the number of Lagrangian points, $N$, increases. This is due to the time-consuming calculation of the…
The immersed boundary method is a mathematical framework for modeling fluid-structure interaction. This formulation describes the momentum, viscosity, and incompressibility of the fluid-structure system in Eulerian form, and it uses…
Bacillus subtilis biofilms were grown in laminar channel flow at wall shear stress spanning one order of magnitude ($\tau_w = 0.068$ Pa to $\tau_w = 0.67$ Pa). We monitor, non-invasively, the evolution of the three-dimensional distribution…
