%*****************************************************************************% %***********************************% IB2d %**********************************% %*****************************************************************************% IB2d is an Immersed Boundary Code (IB) for solving fully coupled non-linear fluid-structure interaction models. This version of the code is based off of Peskin's Immersed Boundary Method Paper in Acta Numerica, 2002. Author: Nicholas A. Battista Email: nick.battista@unc.edu Date Created: May 27th, 2015 Institution: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Website: http://battista.web.unc.edu GitHub: http://www.github.com/nickabattista This code is capable of creating Lagrangian Structures using: 1. Springs 2. Beams (*torsional springs) 3. Target Points 4. Muscle-Model (combined Force-Length-Velocity model with a Hill (i.e.,Length-Tension) Model ) 5. Mass Points (with or without influence of gravity) 6. Porous Structures One is able to update those Lagrangian Structure Parameters, e.g., spring constants, resting lengths, etc There are a number of built in Examples, mostly used for teaching purposes. If you would like us to add a specific muscle model, please contact Nick (nick.battista@unc.edu) If you use this code for the purposes of teaching, research, or recreation please let Nick know as well :) %*****************************************************************************% %*****************************% HAPPY COMPUTING! %****************************% %*****************************************************************************% -To Run Examples: 1. Go into "Examples" Directory 2. Choose which example you want to run and enter directory 3. Type "main2d" 4. You can change input data in the input2d data folder, or modify the geometry in the specified geometry file -THIS VERSION HAS 9 DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF EXAMPLES: 1. "Standard Rubberband" - only uses springs between Lagrangian pts. 2. "Wobbly Beam" - torsional springs between Lagrangian pts, w/ fixed ends via target points 3. "Moving Rubberband" - rubberband moving along a zig-zag pattern, via updating target point positions 4. "HeartTube" - examples of pumping in tubular hearts via updating_springs() ex1: - heart tube that pumps via muscle activation using combined length/tension - Hill model ex2: - heart tube that pumps via dynamic suction pumping by changing resting lengths of springs ex3: - heart tube that pumps via peristaltic waves of contraction by changing resting lengths of springs 5. "Lymphangion" - tube that pumps via muscle activation using combined a hybrid length/tension and Hill model 6. "Channel_Flow" - various channel flow examples with parabolic flow being produced by arbitrary force on Eulerian grid ex1: - Flow around a cylinder in a channel ex2: - Flow around a cylinder with only one wall of channel ex3: - Flow in a channel with a hole in the channel ex4: - Flow produced in the middle of the channel ex5: - Flow produced in an empty channel ex6: - Flow in a channel, mocking an aneurysm 7. "Pulsing_Heart" - cartoon heart that "pumps" via moving target points (interpolates between two phases) 8. "Tracers" - examples of inserting tracer particles into simulations ex1: - Tracers in channel flow ex2: - Tracers in an impedance pump ex3: - Tracers in a peristaltic pump ex4: - Tracers in bifurcating artery 9. "Mass_Points" - "adding artificial mass" to the Lagrangian structure ex1: - 'massive' cell in pulsatile channel flow ex2: - 'massive' cells racing due to underlying fluid velocity only! ex3: - 'massive' cells racing under gravity only ex4: - 'massive' cells in 'gravity vs. pulsating flow' 10. "Porous_Rubberband" - added porosity to standard rubberband problem ex1: - Single porous rubberband example ex2: - Comparing porous to non-porous rubberband -It has the ability to read in Lagrangian Point Data (.vertex), Springs (.spring), Torsional Springs (.beam), Target Pts (.target), and Muscle Pts (.muscle), Tracer Particles (.tracer), Mass Points (.mass), and Porous Media (.porous)! -It has the capabilitiy for updating model data: a. updating target point positions -> Examples in Moving_Rubberband & Pulsing_Heart b. updating_springs() -> Examples in HeartTube c. update_beams() [can be made analogously] d. update_muscles() [can be made analogously] e. update_porosity() [can be made analogously] -It can have pseudo-inflow conditions by inducing an arbitrary force onto the Eulerian grid (e.g., Channel Flow Examples) -You can choose to have gravity exerting forced (yes/no) as well as prescribe the direction of gravitational influence in any direction you'd wish, in input2d -It can plot the following things in Matlab, if plot_Matlab flag = 1 in input2d: a. Vorticity (colormap) + Lagrangian Pts. b. Magnitude Velocity (colormap) + Lagrangian Pts. c. Pressure (colormap) + Lagrangian Pts. d. Velocity (vector form) + Lagrangian Pts. e. Lagrangian Pts. themselves -It has a flag for print dump interval (shared between printing to .vtk format + Matlab plotting) -NOTE: This code *may* BLOW UP when Lagrangian points cross a boundary!!!!! %*****************************************************************************% %*******************************% VISUALIZATION %*****************************% %*****************************************************************************% -These examples print data as .vtk files, which can be read by Paraview and VisIt. -Every example prints the following: LAGRANGIAN PTS: a. Lag. Pts. themselves b. Lag. Pts. w/ connections! SCALARS (colormap): a. Vorticity b. Magnitude of Velocity c. uX (x-directed velocity) d. uY (y-directed velocity) e. Pressure VECTORS: a. velocity data TRACERS: a. tracer particle locations -There are flags in input2d for the printing interval between saving data -> print_Dump -There are flags in input2d whether you'd like Matlab to plot various quantities as simulation progresses: -> plot_Matlab (set = 1, if yes, have Matlab plot) -> plot_<Quantity> (set = 1, if yes for quantity)
