Séminaire PMMH – Anand U. Oza (NJIT, USA)
Coarse-grained models for schooling swimmers in fast flows
The beautiful displays exhibited by fish schools and bird flocks have long fascinated scientists, but the role of their complex behavior remains largely unknown. In particular, the influence of hydrodynamic interactions on schooling and flocking has been the subject of debate in the scientific literature. I will present a model for flapping wings that interact hydrodynamically in an inviscid fluid, wherein each wing is represented as a plate that executes a prescribed time-periodic kinematics. The model generalizes and extends thin-airfoil theory by assuming that the flapping amplitude is small, and permits consideration of multiple wings through the use of conformal mapping. We find that the model predictions agree well with experimental data on freely-translating, flapping wings in a water tank. The results are then used to motivate a reduced-order model for the temporally nonlocal interactions between schooling wings, which consists of a system of nonlinear delay-differential equations. We obtain a PDE as the mean-field limit of these equations, which we find supports traveling wave solutions. Generally, our results indicate how hydrodynamics may mediate schooling and flocking behavior in biological contexts.

Séminaire PMMH - Salvatore Federico (University of Calgary, Canada)
Vendredi 4 juillet de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
Continuum Mechanics of Hydrated Fibre-Reinforced Soft Tissues
Biological tissues can be represented as bi-phasic continua, with a porous solid phase saturated by an interstitial fluid and reinforced by collagen fibers. This lecture will give an overview of the modelling techniques for fibre-reinforced porous composite materials with statistical orientation of the fibers. Both (…) -

REPROGRAMMABLE HARDWARE FOR DATA PROCESSING AT THE EDGE : A NEW COMPUTING PARADIGM BASED ON NEUROMORPHIC SYSTEMS
The brain's ability to perform efficient and fault-tolerant data processing is strongly related with its peculiar interconnected adaptive architecture, based on redundant neural circuits interacting at different scales. By emulating the brain's processing and learning mechanisms, computing technologies strive to (…) -

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
