Computational simulation of flow control with the immersed boundary method

Abstract

Flow control constitutes the utmost objective of fluid dynamics. In a multitude of techniques used for regulating the flow parameters and characteristics, moving solid parts are involved, either rigid or deformable. The computation of this kind of flows by means of the classical body fitted methods, demands the regeneration of the computational mesh for every new step in the discretized time domain. On the contrary, immersed boundary methods achieve integration of flow equations in time, even for time varying fluid domain geometry, using invariant underlying grid throughout the computation. In the structured grid setting, the class of geometrical domains in which a curvilinear grid can be fitted, strictly includes and is overwhelmingly larger of the class of domainsdiscretizable by Cartesian grids. The adaptation of the underlying mesh to the steady part of the boundary of the fluid domain is a desired feature as it enables the direct imposition of the boundary conditions. Thus, leads ...
