报告摘要：
 Nature is rich in fluid-flexible-structure-interaction problems. For instance, the flags flapping in the air, the fish swimming in the ocean, and the red blood cells moving in the human arteries.  Because of the complex three-dimensional freely moving deformable boundary and the coupled system of elasticity and hydrodynamics, the coupling interaction of viscous fluids and elastic structures is quite complicated and not yet well understood.
 It has become apparent that the immersed boundary (IB) method is a practical and important method for solving problems of this type. In this talk I will discuss the fundamentals of the IB method (mathematical formulation and numerical methods). As examples of its applications, I will demonstrate some of my recent works on simulations of a flexible fiber tethered at its center point in a 2D flowing viscous fluid and its generalization to three dimensions --- a flexible sheet tethered at its midline interacting with a 3D viscous flow, focusing on vortex shedding, drag reduction and scaling.
