Advances in modelling of biomimetic fluid flow at different scales by Celata Gian, Saha Sujoy

“…The need of looking into the biological surfaces and morphologies and both geometrical and physical similarities to imitate the technological products and processes has been emphasized. The complex fluid flow and heat transfer problems, the fluid-interface and the physics involved at multiscale and macro-, meso-, micro- and nano-scales have been discussed. …”

Designing synthetic, pumping cilia that switch the flow direction in microchannels. by Alexeev, A, Yeomans, J, Balazs, A

“…The cilia are modeled as deformable, elastic filaments, and the simulations capture the complex fluid-structure interactions among these filaments, the channel walls, and the surrounding solution. …”

Engagement for Engagement’s Sake by Aukje van Rooden

“…Taking the Dutch poet laurate Lieke Marsman's debut novel Het tegenovergestelde van een mens (The opposite of a human being) as an exemplary case study, this paper stresses that the literature of the millennial generation explores a new and different form of engagement, a form that is consonant with our 21st century living conditions, that are more complex, fluid, and volatile than they have ever been. …”

Wave Interaction and Overwash with a Flexible Plate by Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics by Thien Tran-Duc, Michael H. Meylan, Ngamta Thamwattana, Bishnu P. Lamichhane

“…The fluid motion is modelled by smoothed particle hydrodynamics, a mesh-free solution method which, while computationally demanding, is flexible and able to simulate complex fluid flows. The freely floating plate is modelled using linear thin plate elasticity plus the nonlinear rigid body motions. …”

Simulating Engineering Flows through Complex Porous Media via the Lattice Boltzmann Method by Vesselin Krassimirov Krastev, Giacomo Falcucci

“…In this paper, recent achievements in the application of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to complex fluid flows are reported. More specifically, we focus on flows through reactive porous media, such as the flow through the substrate of a selective catalytic reactor (SCR) for the reduction of gaseous pollutants in the automotive field; pulsed-flow analysis through heterogeneous catalyst architectures; and transport and electro-chemical phenomena in microbial fuel cells (MFC) for novel waste-to-energy applications. …”
