Title

Modelling Moving Objects in a Complex Fluid

 Abstract

An object freely moving in a fluid (i.e. not a prescribed motion) is a difficult situation to model as it involves solving partial differential equations over a domain with a moving boundary. As the motion of the boundary is not prescribed, its motion must also be part of the solution.  The situation is even more difficult in a complex fluid where there are additional boundary conditions for the internal structure of the fluid at the objects boundary.  I will discuss methods of solving this problem and, in particular, focus on advances in the immersed boundary method for inertial flows and massive objects.  I will illustrate the results using work my group has done on colloids, polymers, and moving discs in liquid crystals.
