| Research Abstract |
In this study, we aimed at developing a numerical simulation method that can handle fluid flows containing biological cells by extending the interface capturing methods used for numerical simulation of two-phase flows, which have light computational load. We developed a new method based on the combination of the Level Set Method and an isotropic elastic membrane model. In particular, we proposed a formulation utilizing the level set function to represent the displacement of the membrane in the Eulerian frame and its effectiveness was confirmed. In addition, to handle the collision of multiple cells, we proposed a repulsive force model utilizing the level set function and its effectiveness was also confirmed.
