OPENIFEM PROJECT
OpenIFEM project is an open-source software that our lab has developed based on a modified formulation of the immersed finite element method (IFEM) to simulate fluid-structure interactions and multiphysics coupling. It is modularly built and is highly adaptable. We welcome you to use and contribute to our project.
multiphysics/multiscale coupling and applications
fluid-structure interactions: biomechanics, topology optimization, shock-induced structural damage, additive manufacturing
near field - far field solution (FEM/VPM) coupling: flow and vortical analysis of rotorcraft on a shipdeck
fluid-structure-acoustics interactions: voice disorders; noise reduction of MAVs
multiphase (gas-liquid) interactions: thermal hydraulics
gas-liquid-deformable solid interactions: melting/solidification
data science in mechanics
uncertainty quantification
Bayesian optimization and parameter calibration
machine learning
surrogate modeling
multiscale interfacial mechanisms
nanoscale slipping mechanism
superhydrophobicity on nanoscale patterned surfaces
FEM-MD coupling
