Using the immersed boundary method, we have simulated the motion of two flexible filaments in a flowing soap film, which was experimentally studied by Zhang et al. [Nature (London) 408, 835 (2000)]. We found numerically two distinct modes of sustained oscillation of the two filaments: parallel flapping and mirror-image clapping, depending on the separation distance between the two filaments. Our simulation results agree with that of the experiment at least qualitatively, even though the Reynolds number of the flowing soap film in our simulation is about two orders of magnitude lower than that of the experiment.
