We simulate the nonlocal Stokesian hydrodynamics of an elastic filament which is active due a permanent distribution of stresslets along its contour. A bending instability of an initially straight filament spontaneously breaks flow symmetry…
The emerging field of self-driven active particles in fluid environments has recently created significant interest in the biophysics and bioengineering communities owing to their promising future biomedical and technological applications.…
In this work, we present a mathematical and computational framework to model the dynamics of open lipid bilayer membranes interacting with ambient Stokes flow. The model explicitly couples the three-dimensional viscous fluid, the…
We consider the problem of a one dimensional elastic filament immersed in a two dimensional steady Stokes fluid. Immersed boundary problems in which a thin elastic structure interacts with a surrounding fluid are prevalent in science and…
We study the fully nonlinear, nonlocal dynamics of two-dimensional multicomponent vesicles in a shear flow with matched viscosity of the inner and outer fluids. Using a nonstiff, pseudo-spectral boundary integral method, we investigate…
A deep understanding of the physical interactions between nanoparticles and target cell membranes is important in designing efficient nanocarrier systems for drug delivery applications. Here, we present a theoretical framework to describe…
Two-dimensional Stokes flow with injection and suction is investigated through a second-order, perturbative mode-coupling approach. We examine the time-dependent disturbance of an initially circular interface separating two viscous fluids,…
A highly accurate method for simulating surfactant-covered droplets in two-dimensional Stokes flow with solid boundaries is presented. The method handles both periodic channel flows of arbitrary shape and stationary solid constrictions. A…
Continuing on our previous work [ArXiv:1212.2644], we develop semi-implicit numerical methods for solving low Mach number fluctuating hydrodynamic equations appropriate for modeling diffusive mixing in isothermal mixtures of fluids with…
A Stokes layer, which is a flow pattern that arises in a viscous fluid adjacent to an oscillatory boundary, was observed in an experiment using a two-dimensional strongly coupled dusty plasma. Liquid conditions were maintained using laser…
We present a simple and efficient variational finite difference method for simulating time-dependent Stokes flow in the presence of irregular free surfaces and moving solid boundaries. The method uses an embedded boundary approach on…
An accelerated boundary integral method for Stokes flow of a suspension of deformable particles is presented for an arbitrary domain and implemented for the important case of a planar slit geometry. The computational complexity of the…
Fluid-structure simulations of slender inextensible filaments in a viscous fluid are often plagued by numerical stiffness. Recent coarse-graining studies have reduced the computational requirements of simulating such systems, though have…
The motion of an assembly of rigid fibers is investigated for different classes of closed streamline flows, steady or time dependent, two dimensional or three dimensional. In our study, the dynamics of the fiber assembly is fully-coupled to…
We carry out a numerical study on the dynamics of a single non-Brownian flexible fiber in two-dimensional Couette flows at finite Reynolds numbers. We employ the bead-spring model of flexible fibers to extend the fluid particle dynamics…
We extend the theory of spectral submanifolds (SSMs) to general non-autonomous dynamical systems that are either weakly forced or slowly varying. Examples of such systems arise in structural dynamics, fluid-structure interactions and…
We model incompressible flows with an adaptive stabilized finite element method Stokes flows, which solves a discretely stable saddle-point problem to approximate the velocity-pressure pair. Additionally, this saddle-point problem delivers…
We study exact solutions for the slow viscous flow of an infinite liquid caused by two rigid spheres approaching each either along or parallel to their line of centres, valid at all separations. This goes beyond the applicable range of…
Performing highly accurate simulations of droplet systems is a challenging problem. This is primarily due to the interface dynamics which is complicated further by the addition of surfactants. This paper presents a boundary integral method…
This study explores the dynamics of finite-size fibers suspended freely in a viscoelastic turbulent flow. For a fiber suspended in Newtonian flows, two different flapping regimes were identified previously by Rosti et al (2018). Here we…
