A chronological catalog of methods and solutions in the Space–Time Computational Flow Analysis: II. Isogeometric analysis

Abstract This is Part II of a two-part article that serves as a chronological catalog of the methods and solutions in the Space–Time Computational Flow Analysis (STCFA). In Part I , we focused on the methods and solutions in finite element analysis. Here, we focus on the methods and solutions in isogeometric analysis (IGA). The methods we cover include the ST-IGA and ST Slip Interface method. The first-of-its-kind solutions we cover include the flapping-wing aerodynamics with the wing motion coming from an actual locust, ventricle-valve-aorta flow analysis with patient-specific aorta and realistic ventricle and leaflet geometries and motion, and car and tire aerodynamics with near-actual car body and tire geometries, road contact, and tire deformation. These and the other first-of-its-kind solutions covered show how the STCFA brought solutions in so many classes of challenging flow problems.
