Variable viscosity and density biofilm simulations using an immersed boundary method, part II: Experimental validation and the heterogeneous rheology-IBM
The goal of this work is to develop a numerical simulation that accurately captures the biomechanical response of bacterial biofilms and their associated extracellular matrix (ECM). In this, the second of a two-part effort, the primary focus is on formally presenting the heterogeneous rheology Immersed Boundary Method (hrIBM) and validating our model against experimental results. With this exte...
متن کاملImmersed Boundary Method for Variable Viscosity and Variable Density Problems Using Fast Constant-Coefficient Linear Solvers II: Theory
We analyze the stability and convergence of first-order accurate and second-order accurate timestepping schemes for the Navier-Stokes equations with variable viscosity. These schemes are characterized by a mixed implicit/explicit treatment of the viscous term, in which a numerical parameter, λ, determines the degree of splitting between the implicit and explicit contributions. The reason for th...
متن کاملSpatially Heterogeneous Biofilm Simulations using an Immersed Boundary Method with Lagrangian Nodes Defined by Bacterial Locations
In this work we consider how surface-adherent bacterial biofilm communities respond in flowing systems. We simulate the fluid-structure interaction and separation process using the immersed boundary method. In these simulations we model and simulate different density and viscosity values of the biofilm than that of the surrounding fluid. The simulation also includes breakable springs connecting...
متن کاملImmersed Boundary Method for Variable Viscosity and Variable Density Problems Using Fast Constant-Coefficient Linear Solvers I: Numerical Method and Results
We present a general variable viscosity and variable density immersed boundary method that is first-order accurate in the variable density case and, for problems possessing sufficient regularity, second-order accurate in the constant density case. The viscosity and density are considered material properties and are defined by a dynamically updated tesselation. Empirical convergence rates are re...
متن کاملModelling of the Dynamics of an immersed body in a microchannel with stenosis using the immersed boundary method
In the present study, the combination of lattice Boltzmann and immersed boundary methods is used to simulate the motion and deformation of a flexible body. Deformation of the body is studied in microchannel with stenosis and the effect of the flexibility changes on its deformation is investigated. The obtained results in the present manuscript show that by increasing the elasticity modulus, the...
