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

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.
