Moving Interface Problems and Applications in Fluid Dynamics: Program on Moving Interface Problems and Applications in Fluid Dynamics January 8-march ... of Singapore

by Boo Cheong Khoo (Editor), Zhilin Li (Editor), Ping Lin (Editor)

Drawn from the program held January through March of 2007 at the National University of Singapore, these materials reflect the wide range of research conducted during that program. Topics include modeling and simulation as a biological flow coupled to deformable tissue and elastic structures, shockwave and bubble dynamics in various applications including biological treatments with experimental verification, multi-media flow or multi-phase flow and various applications (including cavitation and supercavitation), detonation problems, and Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The ten articles here include such studies as a single cell-based model of multicellular growth using the immersed boundary method, a high order finite difference scheme for the Stokes equations, an implicit-forcing immersed interface method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, critical fields of liquid crystals, issues of immersed boundary and continuum methods, and a finite element method for interface problems with locally modified triangulations.
