Source-code for simulation of growing thin sheets released
As part of our published paper in Soft Matter, we have released on source code that underlies our simulation algorithm on GitHub under the open-source BSD-3 clause. The code forms the basis for our simulations of non-Euclidean plates and growing thin sheets, and is easy to adapt to different problems in plate and shell elasticity, … continue reading »
Helicity dynamics of thin-core vortices
This summer I published an article in Science, together with Prof. William Irvine and his group at the University of Chicago, discussing our results on the dynamics of helicity in a viscous fluid. Helicity is a scalar quantity that measures the intertwining of vortex lines in a fluid domain. In ideal (inviscid) fluids, helicity is conserved … continue reading »
