A discrete-forcing immersed boundary method for a thin flexible body
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study, an immersed boundary (IB) method for the simulation of flow around a thin flexible body is presented. The present method is based on a discrete-forcing immersed boundary method proposed by Kim et al. (JCP, 2001). The dynamic equation for a thin flexible body is coupled with the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. With the proposed method, we simulate several flow problems including flows around a flexible filament and a hovering insect wing at CFL=0.6 – 1.0.

Simulations of the Three-dimensional Hydraulic Transient Process of Francis Turbine with an Immersed Boundary Method
From the immersed boundary (IB) method point of view, the solid part may mainly act as elastic body or rigid body. Traditionally, the IB approach for fluid and rigid body interaction or fluid dynamics with complex geometry and boundary conditions has been divided into two main categories: the feedback forcing approach and the direct forcing approach. In the direct-forcing IB approach, the body ...
متن کاملAn Improved Direct-forcing Immersed Boundary Method for Fluid- Structure Interaction Simulations
* Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Simulation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of flexible bodies are challenging due to complex geometries and freely moving boundaries. Immersed boundary method has found to be an efficient technique for dealing with FSI problems because of the use of non-body-fitted mesh and simple implementation. In the present work, we developed a FS...
متن کاملModelling of the Dynamics of an immersed body in a microchannel with stenosis using the immersed boundary method
In the present study, the combination of lattice Boltzmann and immersed boundary methods is used to simulate the motion and deformation of a flexible body. Deformation of the body is studied in microchannel with stenosis and the effect of the flexibility changes on its deformation is investigated. The obtained results in the present manuscript show that by increasing the elasticity modulus, the...

Abstract The present paper is devoted to implementation of the immersed boundary technique into the Fourier pseudo-spectral solution of the vorticity-velocity formulation of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The immersed boundary conditions are implemented via direct modification of the convection and diffusion terms, and therefore, in contrast to some other similar ...
متن کاملNon-Newtonian unconfined flow and heat transfer over a heated cylinder using the direct-forcing immersed boundary-thermal lattice Boltzmann method.
In this study, the immersed boundary-thermal lattice Boltzmann method has been used to simulate non-Newtonian fluid flow over a heated circular cylinder. The direct-forcing algorithm has been employed to couple the off-lattice obstacles and on-lattice fluid nodes. To investigate the effect of boundary sharpness, two different diffuse interface schemes are considered to interpolate the velocity ...
