Aquatic suction feeding dynamics: insights from computational modelling.
Aquatic suction feeding in vertebrates involves extremely unsteady flow, externally as well as internally of the expanding mouth cavity. Consequently, studying the hydrodynamics involved in this process is a challenging research area, where experimental studies and mathematical models gradually aid our understanding of how suction feeding works mechanically. Especially for flow patterns inside ...
متن کاملUse of computational fluid dynamics to study forces exerted on prey by aquatic suction feeders.
Suction feeding is the most commonly used mechanism of prey capture among aquatic vertebrates. Most previous models of the fluid flow caused by suction feeders involve making several untested assumptions. In this paper, a Chimera overset grids approach is used to solve the governing equations of fluid dynamics in order to investigate the assumptions that prey do not interact with the flow and t...
متن کاملNew insights from serranid fishes on the role of trade-offs in suction-feeding diversification.
Suction feeding is central to prey capture in the vast majority of ray-finned fishes and has been well studied from a detailed, mechanistic perspective. Several major trade-offs are thought to have shaped the diversification of suction-feeding morphology and behavior, and have become well established in the literature. We revisited several of these expectations in a study of prey capture morpho...
متن کاملInsights into channel dysfunction from modelling and molecular dynamics simulations
Developments in structural biology mean that the number of different ion channel structures has increased significantly in recent years. Structures of ion channels enable us to rationalize how mutations may lead to channelopathies. However, determining the structures of ion channels is still not trivial, especially as they necessarily exist in many distinct functional states. Therefore, the use...
متن کاملWater dynamics in cement paste : insights from lattice Boltzmann modelling
Transport properties are often used as indicators of durability because water underpins most of the degradation mechanisms of concrete structures. The objective of this thesis is to understand the link between the microstructure and the permeability of cement paste, the binder phase of concrete. To achieve this goal, the lattice Boltzmann method is used to simulate the flow through three-dimens...
