Efficient and accurate simulations of deformable particles immersed in a fluid using a combined immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann finite element method

TL;DR: The presented model for small resolutions is investigated to provide a sound basis for efficient but accurate simulations of multiple deformable particles immersed in a fluid and it is concluded that details of the membrane mesh, as tessellation method and resolution, play only a minor role.
