This project is working with a group that is developing a code
that interlinks a prototype moving mesh simulation, with Partial
Differential Equation (PDE) solvers in order to solve complex
engineering problems. The advanced features of the mesh generator
allow for complex two-dimensional problems to be solved. This
project encompasses two problems. The first is implementing a
cell membrane (for a red blood cell) into a previously developed
convection problem. The second problem is to model thrombus formation
on the wall of a sudden expansion. The undergraduate student is
working closely with the engineers, mathematicians, and computer
scientists involved with the code. The engineers are responsible
for developing the problems that will be solved, while the undergraduate
researcher is responsible for implementing them into code.
