Computational study of fluid forces over a cylinder attached with elastic beam: A finite element-based simulations by Yasir Arif, Rashid Mahmood, Mehdi Tlija, Afraz Hussain Majeed, Kamran Usman, Ehab Seif Ghith

“…To resolve the coupled governing equations, the velocity profiles are approximated with quadratic polynomials (P2), while the pressure is estimated using a different space with linear polynomials (P1) using the finite element method. The discrete systems are solved using a Newton method that employs split differences to explicitly generate the Jacobian matrices. …”

From the Guest Editors by Carlos Castillo-Chávez, Christopher Kribs Zaleta, Yang Kuang, Baojun Song

“…Those of us who met the field of mathematical biology as a well-developed,flourishing, and rewarding discipline owe much to those who made it so.This special issue of Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering isdedicated to two such pioneers: Fred Brauer and Karl Hadeler.Since retrospectives of both men have been published in other venues [1, 2], we will only summarize their contributions briefly here.Fred Brauer obtained his Ph.D. from MIT in 1956 under Norman Levinson,and during a long tenure at the University of Wisconsin he co-wrote severaltexts on ordinary differential equations that have become classics.His research entered mathematical biology first through early studies inpredator-prey systems and harvesting, both with and without delays.He then moved into mathematical epidemiology, and the text he co-authoredwith Carlos Castillo-Chavez in both these areas earlier this decade isalready in wide use.For more information please click the “Full Text” above.…”
