Directional Adhesive Structures for Controlled Climbing on Smooth Vertical Surfaces
— Recent biological research suggests that reliable, agile climbing on smooth vertical surfaces requires controllable adhesion. In nature, geckos control adhesion by properly loa...

A multiscale approach to mesh-based surface tension flows
We present an approach to simulate flows driven by surface tension based on triangle meshes. Our method consists of two simulation layers: the first layer is an Eulerian method ...

Multi-Time Simulation of Voltage-Controlled Oscillators
We present a novel formulation, called the WaMPDE, for solving systems with forced autonomous components. An important feature of the WaMPDE is its ability to capture frequency mo...

Computational Models for the Formation of Protocell Structures
There have been various attempts to simulate the self-assembly process of lipid aggregates by computers. However, due to the computationally complex nature of the problem, previou...
