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…

Geometric perturbation theory is universal. A typical example is provided by the 3D wave equation, widely used in acoustics. We face vibrating eardrums as a binaural auditory input stemming from an external sound source. In the setup of…

The hair cells of the vertebrate inner ear convert mechanical stimuli to electrical signals. Two adaptation mechanisms are known to modify the ionic current flowing through the transduction channels of the hair bundles: a rapid process…

This note is a correction to a paper of Cortez, Peskin, Stockie & Varela [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 65(2):494-520, 2004], who studied the stability of a parametrically-forced, circular, elastic fiber immersed in an incompressible fluid in 2D,…

We perform global unstratified 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of an astrophysical boundary layer (BL) -- an interface region between an accretion disk and a weakly magnetized accreting object such as a white dwarf -- with the goal of…

The boundary element method (BEM) is an efficient numerical method for simulating harmonic wave propagation. It uses boundary integral formulations of the Helmholtz equation at the interfaces of piecewise homogeneous domains. The…

Building upon our earlier passive models for the cochlea, here we enhance the model with an active mechanism. Starting with a one-chamber simplification leading to a system of a time-dependent PDE in two spatial variables for the pressure…

We investigate the relationship between the linear surface wave instabilities of a shallow viscous fluid layer and the shape of the periodic, parametric-forcing function (describing the vertical acceleration of the fluid container) that…

The finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM) can numerically solve the Helmholtz system for acoustic wave propagation. When an object with heterogeneous wave speed or density is embedded in an unbounded exterior…

Transmission line (TL) models implemented in the time domain can efficiently simulate basilar-membrane (BM) displacement in response to transient or non-stationary sounds. By design, a TL model is well-suited for an one-dimensional (1-D)…

The propagation of compressional MHD waves is studied for an externally driven system. It is assumed that the combined action of the external sources and sinks of the entropy results in the harmonic oscillation of the entropy (and…

This work extends, to moving geometries, the immersed boundary method based on volume penalization and selective frequency damping approach [J. Kou, E. Ferrer, A combined volume penalization/selective frequency damping approach for immersed…

Cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) have two mechanosensitive elements: the hair bundle with mechanotrasducer channels and the piezoelectric lateral wall of the cell body. The present report examines how these elements interact with each other…

This study experimentally, numerically, and theoretically investigates the cavity/bubble dynamics and radiated acoustics during the water entry of a centimeter-scale cylindrical projectile with a conical nose. Experiments were conducted in…

We identify forcing mechanisms that separately amplify subsonic and supersonic features obtained from a linearized Navier-Stokes based model for compressible parallel boundary layers. Resolvent analysis is used to analyse the linear model,…

This paper presents a general and robust method for the fluid-structure interaction of membranes and shells undergoing large displacement and large added-mass effects by coupling an immersed-boundary method with a shell finite-element…

The structural element considered in the presented article consists, according to the geometric structure, of a coating and reinforcement elements, according to the mechanical characteristics of heterogeneous coatings along the length,…

This paper describes how Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDMM) can be coupled with a Fast Multipole (FM) Boundary Element Method (BEM) to investigate the relationship between morphological changes in the head, torso, and…

The Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) is one of the popular one-fluid mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian methods to simulate motion of droplets. While the treatment of a moving complex boundary is an extremely time consuming and formidable task in a…

In this work it is shown how the immersed boundary method of (Peskin2002) for modeling flexible structures immersed in a fluid can be extended to include thermal fluctuations. A stochastic numerical method is proposed which deals with…
