An immersed boundary method for fluid–flexible structure interaction (2009, background): “’s experiment [17], handled this problem by spreading the mass of the filament to the near Eulerian grid points in the same manner as the momentum forcing.”
Three-dimensional simulation of a flapping flag in a uniform flow (2010, methodology): “Such vortex procession was also observed behind the two-dimensional flag model by visualizations of a flowing soap film (Zhang et al. 2000) and by two-dimensional simulations (Huang et al.”
Flapping and Bending Bodies Interacting with Fluid Flows (2011, methodology): “This route through the parameter space gives qualitatively the same series of states observed in experiments (Watanabe et al. 2002, Zhang et al. 2000) and the vortex-sheet simulations (Alben & Shelley 2008b).”
Flapping dynamics of a flag in a uniform stream (2007, methodology): “Considering k = 2π, the wavelength being found close to the body length in Zhang et al. (2000), Watanabe et al. (2002), and the present simulations, we find the critical mass ratio for stability transition with bending rigidity to be predicted by µcrit = 1.3Re −1/2 + KB4π 2, (4.18) as plotted in…”
Vortex wakes of a flapping foil (2009, background): “Since the pioneering works of Couder & Basdevant (1986) and Gharib & Derango (1989), flowing soap films have been used to study many different phenomena, including two-dimensional turbulence (Rivera, Vorobieff & Ecke 1998), cylinder wakes (Vorobieff & Ecke 1999), vortices shed by a flexible filament”
