Lagrangian Coherent Structure Analysis of Jellyfish Swimming Using Immersed Boundary FSI Simulations
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper, medusan swimming in a quiescent fluid flow environment is simulated via a two-way nonlinear fluid-structure interaction (FSI) technique with the aid of immersed boundary method (IBM). In this regard, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with Lagrangian interaction equations between fluid and immersed structure are solved using IB2d code. For the simulations, immersed jellyfish bell membrane is modeled in a spring fiber built-in case available in the code. Afterwards, Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) of the flow field are extracted to capture transport barriers in the case of jellyfish swimming. These hidden structures depict formation of distinct regions in the animal wake, including starting and stopping vortices.
