Simulations of self-propelled anguilliform swimming using the immersed boundary method in OpenFOAM
This study extends the existing immersed boundary method (IBM) in the open source toolbox OpenFOAM for solving fluid-structure interactions involving the immersed structure with changeable shapes. To handle a changeable-shape problem, the existing discrete-forcing direct-imposition approach of IBM i...
