Since the discovery of inertial focusing in 1961, numerous theories have been put forward to
explain the migration of particles in inertial flows, but a complete understanding is still …

Numerical simulations are extensively used to investigate the motion of suspended particles
in a fluid and their influence on the dynamics of the overall flow. Contexts range from the …

This review summarizes the rigorous mathematical theory behind the lattice Boltzmann
equation (LBE). Relevant properties of the Boltzmann equation and a derivation of the LBE …

A Cartesian cut-cell method for viscous flows interacting with freely moving boundaries is
presented. The method enables a sharp resolution of the embedded boundaries and strictly …

Efficient solution-adaptive simulations are conducted by a Cartesian cut-cell method to
analyse the flow field of prolate ellipsoids in uniform flow. The parameter space defined by …

The direct numerical simulation of particulate systems offers a unique approach to study the
dynamics of fluid-solid suspensions by fully resolving the submerged particles and without …

We derive an effective equation of motion for the orientational dynamics of a neutrally
buoyant spheroid suspended in a simple shear flow, valid for arbitrary particle aspect ratios …

Using fluid–structure interaction computational modelling, the hydrodynamic performance of
bio-inspired elastic propulsors with tapered thickness that oscillate in an incompressible …

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a useful technique for simulating multiphase flows
and modeling complex physics. Specifically, we use LBM combined with a direct-forcing …

Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis) has recently been attracting attention as a potential renewable
source for the production of biofuels, livestock feed, cosmetics, and dietary supplements …
