Modeling and Numerical Simulations of Active and Passive Forces Using Immersed Boundary Method
This thesis uses the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) to simulate the movement of a human heart. The IBM was developed by Charles Peskin in the 70’s to solve Fluid-Structure Interaction models (FSI). The heart is embedded inside a fluid (blood) which moves according to the Navier-Stokes equation. The...
