Fluid–structure interactions with applications to biology

Excerpt

Wei-Xi Huang received his bachelor’s degree and master’s degree from Tsinghua University in 2001 and 2004, respectively, and he completed his Ph.D. at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2009. In 2010, Huang entered the School of Aerospace Engineering of Tsinghua University as a lecturer, where he is now serving as an associate professor (2012-present). Huang’s current research focus is on the numerical study of turbulence control and development of novel schemes for turbulent drag reduction. Huang is also interested in computational biofluid mechanics. He has been developing computational methods for fluid-flexible body interactions, with the goal of simulating and obtaining physical insight into problems from biomechanics. Huang received China National Science Funds for Excellent Young Scientists in 2013. Huang is currently a member of the International Exchange and Cooperation Committee of the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, the American Physical Society, and the European Mechanics Society. …
