Microcapsules are reviewed with special emphasis on the relevance of controlled
mechanical properties for functional aspects. At first, assembly strategies are presented that …

Cell membranes are vital to shield a cell's interior from the environment. At the same time
they determine to a large extent the cell's mechanical resistance to external forces. In recent …

The immersed boundary method is a methodology for dealing with boundary conditions at
fluid–fluid and fluid–solid interfaces. The immersed boundary method has been attracting …

We have introduced a modified penalty approach into the flow-structure interaction solver
that combines an immersed boundary method (IBM) and a multi-block lattice Boltzmann …

An immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) for fluid-structure interaction
(FSI) problems involving viscoelastic fluids and complex geometries is presented in this …

We investigate the effect of internal mass in the simulation of a moving body by the
immersed boundary method. In general, the force and the torque acting on the body are …

Understanding the dynamics of circulating tumor cell (CTC) behavior within the vasculature
has remained an elusive goal in cancer biology. To elucidate the contribution of …

The present study investigates the utilisation of the Finite Element Method (FEM) in
addressing Inverse Heat Transfer issues associated with diverse materials. The Finite …

We show, via three-dimensional immersed-boundary-finite-element-lattice-Boltzmann
simulations, that deformability-based red blood cell (RBC) separation in deterministic lateral …

A novel computational framework which combines the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and
an improved immersed boundary method (IBM) based on a dynamic geometry-adaptive …
