Numerical Investigation of Freely Falling Objects Using Direct-Forcing Immersed Boundary Method [PDF]
Mathematics, 2020 The fluid-structure interaction of solid objects freely falling in a Newtonian fluid was investigated numerically by direct-forcing immersed boundary (DFIB) method. The Navier–Stokes equations are coupled with equations of motion through virtual force to

A visual bias for falling objects. [PDF]
PerceptionAristotle believed that objects fell at a constant velocity. However, Galileo Galilei showed that when an object falls, gravity causes it to accelerate. Regardless, Aristotle's claim raises the possibility that people's visual perception of falling motion might be biased away from acceleration towards constant velocity. We tested this idea by requiring

Damage predictive model of submarine pipeline impacted by falling object based on BP neural network [PDF]
Journal of Hebei University of Science and Technology, 2023 In order to predict the damage of submarine pipeline on saturated clay seabed by falling objects, a dynamic finite element model of interaction between saturated clay seabed and submarine pipeline under the impact of falling objects was established.
