Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2170-2194, October 2025.Abstract Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool for studying fluid interactions in biological systems. While widely used in engineering, its application in the natural sciences, particularly in paleobiology, remains limited due to the challenges of meshing complex organic geometries.

Simulation of Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints with Nurbs Surface Fitting
Archives of Civil Engineering, 2017 This paper presents an approach based on NURBS (non-uniform rational B-splines) to achieve a seismic response surface (SRS) from a group of points obtained by using an analytical model of RC joints.

Inverse Relations for Blossoms and Parametrisations of Rational Curves and Surfaces
MathematicsIn this paper, we make use of an inverse formula that relates the blossom of a NURBS curve, surface or Bézier triangle with its parametrisation, with no explicit reference to the control points and weights of the parametrisation.
