APMA 990 Course Projects:
Immersed Boundary Method and Applications
Collected below are sample results from the projects completed as part
of the Spring 2013 section of the graduate course APMA990: Immersed
Boundary Method and Applications. Some of the pictures are "clickable" and link to a related movie. Most of
these results were obtained using Brittany Froese and Jeff Wiens'
open-source code MatIB.
