Multiple Stationary and Moving Boundary Handling in Cartesian Grids
نویسنده
چکیده
A Cartesian grid generation methodology is developed for unsteady control volume computational fluid dynamic (CFD) solvers. Arbitrary combinations and numbers of moving and stationary boundaries are allowed to exist in the two-dimensional Cartesian grid template. Specific definitions for the possible cases, CFD solver requirements and moving geometry handling algorithms of Cartesian grids are described. Applications are selected from bio-fluid dynamics and aerospace propulsion to demonstrate the capability of the method.

Multiphase Dynamics in Arbitrary Geometries on Fixed Cartesian Grids
In this work, a mixed Eulerian–Lagrangian algorithm, called ELAFINT (Eulerian Lagrangian algorithm for interface tracking) is developed further and applied to compute flows with solid–fluid and fluid–fluid interfaces. The method is capable of handling fluid flows in the presence of both irregularly shaped solid boundaries and moving boundaries on a fixed Cartesian grid. The field equations are ...
متن کاملAn Overset Adaptive Cartesian/Prism Grid Method for Moving Boundary Flow Problems
The use of overset grids in CFD started more than two decades ago, and has achieved tremendous success in handling complex geometries. In particular, overset grids have the advantage of avoiding grid remeshing when dealing with moving boundary flow problems. Traditionally overset grids were mainly used with structured grids to simplify the grid generation process, because a complex computationa...
متن کاملA versatile sharp interface immersed boundary method for incompressible flows with complex boundaries
A sharp interface immersed boundary method for simulating incompressible viscous flow past three-dimensional immersed bodies is described. The method employs a multi-dimensional ghost-cell methodology to satisfy the boundary conditions on the immersed boundary and the method is designed to handle highly complex three-dimensional, stationary, moving and/or deforming bodies. The complex immersed ...
متن کاملEuler calculations with embedded Cartesian grids and small-perturbation boundary conditions
This study examines the use of stationary Cartesian mesh for steady and unsteady flow computations. The surface boundary conditions are imposed by reflected points. A cloud of nodes in the vicinity of the surface is used to get a weighted average of the flow properties via a gridless least-squares technique. If the displacement of the moving surface from the original position is typically small...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of Fluidic Micro-Handling Processes
This paper describes the application of a new and unconventional numerical method for computational modeling of fluidic micro-handling processes. The key requirement for modeling such processes is the ability to simulate flows with large number of complex shaped moving objects. Conventional body-conformal computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methods are not well suited for simulating such flows an...
