the primary cilium which is an organelle in nearly every cell in the vertebrate body extends out of the cell surface like an antenna and is known as cell sensor of mechanical and chemical stimuli. in previous numerical simulations, researchers modeled this organelle as a cantilevered beam attached to the cell surface. in the present study, however, we present a novel model that accommodates for...

In this work, we consider fluid-structure interaction simulation with nonlinear hyperelastic models in the solid part. We use a partitioned approach to deal with the coupled nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems. We focus on handling the nonlinearity of the fluid and structure sub-problems, the nearincompressibility of materials, the stabilization of employed finite element discretizat...

natural convection heat transfer from a vertical heated plate in a saturated porous medium is analyzed under thermal non-equilibrium assumptions. the plate is maintained at a non uniform temperature and the fluid is considered to be with internal heat generation. the coupled momentum and energy equations for fluid and solid phases are transformed to a similarity format, and solved numerically. ...

   Small changes in pressure or temperature, close to the critical point, lead to large changes in solubility of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2). Environmentally friendly supercritical CO2 is the most popular and inexpensive solvent which has been used for preparation of nanodrugs and nanocarriers in drug delivery system with supercritical fluid technology. Delivery...

We present a simulation framework to integrate several aspects of the combustion and burning process in a unified and modular manner. A simple three gas flame model is used to simulate a combustion process, while air motion is simulated as a single moving fluid. Solid objects inside the simulation domain can catch fire and start burning. Heat information is transferred from the fluid simulator ...

In this paper we consider a simplified model for fluid-solid interaction in one space dimension. The fluid is assumed to be governed by the viscous Burgers equation. It is coupled with a finite number of solid masses in the form of point particles, which share the velocity of the fluid and are accelerated by the pressure difference of the fluid on both sides. We prove global existence and uniqu...

Recent results on fluid–structure interaction for plates subject to high intensity air shocks are employed to assess the performance of all-metal sandwich plates compared to monolithic solid plates of the same material and mass per area. For a planar shock wave striking the plate, the new results enable the structural analysis to be decoupled from an analysis of shock propagation in the air. Th...

Motivated by the desire to investigate vehicle fording scenarios, we analyze four frameworks for the simulation of the fluid-solid interaction problem. While all of these approaches rely on a general multibody dynamics simulation framework that supports impact, contact, and constraint, they differ in (i) the fluid representation; (ii) the simulation methodology; and (iii) the fluid-solid interf...
