Mimetic Immersed Boundary Methods for Fluid-Structure Interaction — NSF Award to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (NC,
Fluid-structure interaction occurs when moving fluids act on structures and the resulting structural motion or deformation changes the fluid flow. It plays a central role when blood flows through heart valves, organisms swim or fly, bio-inspired vehicles move through water or air, energy devices convert flow into power

| Abstract | Fluid-structure interaction occurs when moving fluids act on structures and the resulting structural motion or deformation changes the fluid flow. It plays a central role when blood flows through heart valves, organisms swim or fly, bio-inspired vehicles move through water or air, energy devices convert flow into power, aircraft and turbine components respond to aerodynamic loads, and medical devices interact with the body. Immersed boundary methods are mathematical and computational tools for s |
