Abstract: The present work analyzes numerical simulations of long flexible fibers in two-dimensional flows. The focus is on the frequency at which caustics occur and the characterization of the collisions among fibers. The continuous flexible fibers… read more here.

Abstract: When transported in confined geometries rigid fibers show interesting transport dynamics induced by friction with the top and bottom walls. Fiber flexibility causes an additional coupling between fiber deformation and transport and is expected to… read more here.
