Numerical modelling of insect flight
Numerical simulation can provide important insights to the mechanics of animal locomotion. In this talk, I will present a numerical method for modeling flapping flight of insects. It is based on a Fourier pseudo-spectral method for solving the Navier-Stokes equations. Time-varying solid boundaries are modeled using the volume penalization method. Applications of this method will be presented, including such topics as the leading-edge vortex, fluid-structure interaction of flexible flapping foils, and the dynamics of takeoff.

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.
