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.

boundary method, submitted to Bioinspiration and Biomemetics, arXiv preprint:

This code is capable of creating Lagrangian Structures using:
1. Springs
2. Beams (*torsional springs)
3. Target Points
4. Muscle-Model 1 (combined Force-Length-Velocity model with a
Hill (i.e.,Length-Tension) Model )
5. 3-Element Hill Muscle (combined 3-element hill mode coupled w/
Force-Velocity/Length-Tension Model)
6. Mass Points (with or without influence of gravity)
7. Porous Structures
8. Electrophysiology (FitzHugh-Nagumo coupling w/ or w/o calcium
dynamics and w/ or w/o muscle models)
9. Damped Springs
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 ([email protected])
If you use this code for the purposes of teaching, research, or recreation please let Nick know as well :)

-To Run Examples:
1. Go into "Examples" Directory
2. Choose which example you want to run and enter directory

by changing resting lengths of springs

FitzHugh-Nagumo reduced order model of Hodgkin-Huxley

FitzHugh-Nagumo reduced order model of Hodgkin-Huxley with
underlying calcium dynamics

(interpolates between two phases)

-It has the ability to read in Lagrangian Point Data (.vertex), Springs
(.spring), Torsional Springs (.beam), Target Pts (.target), and
Muscle Pts (.muscle), 3-Hill-Muscle-Pts (.muscle_Hill),
Tracer Particles (.tracer), Mass Points (.mass), and Porous Media
(.porous), and initial concentration (.concentration), and damped
springs (.d_spring)!
-It has the capabilitiy for updating model data:
a. updating target point positions -> Examples in Moving_Rubberband &
Pulsing_Heart
b. update_Springs() -> Examples in HeartTube
c. update_Beams() -> Examples in Jellyfish
d. update_Muscles() [can be made analogously]
e. update_Porosity() [can be made analogously]
f. update_Damped_Springs() [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
-You can have a background concentration gradient that is advected and diffused
via the background flow.
-You can use the Boussinesq approximation
-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!!!!!

-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)
