DOI: 10.1016/j.jnnfm.2019.07.006
Abstract: Abstract A model is proposed, where the evolution of the orientation of each fiber is coupled to the orientations of the surrounding fibers in the flow of a fiber-filled fluid and includes the effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2017.06.030
Abstract: Abstract Designing, optimizing and controlling a wave energy converter requires the construction of a mathematical model in order to simulate the behaviour of the device. Given the nonlinear nature of fluid-structure interactions, the definition of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2121147119
Abstract: Significance Micrometer-scale small active systems, ranging from cells migrating through viscoelastic tissues to self-propelled droplets in microfluidic platforms, are often subject to environmental confinement. Growing evidence suggests that such confined environments are an essential factor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevfluids.4.084004
Abstract: In this work we revisit the dynamic Wilhelmy plate method for measuring dynamic contact angles with a specific focus on the viscous drag force which acts along the submerged surface of the plate. Particle image… read more here.
