DESCRIPTION:Soft corals of the family Xeniidae have a pulsating motion\, a
  behavior not observed in many other sessile organisms. We are studying ho
 w this behavior may give these coral a competitive advantage. We will pres
 ent direct numerical simulations of the pulsations of the coral and the re
 sulting fluid flow by solving the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the
  immersed boundary method. Furthermore\, parameter sweeps studying the res
 ulting fluid flow will be discussed.&nbsp\;<br>
