Cartesian grid methods for simulating flows with moving boundaries
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recently developed numerical method for flows with moving boundaries is used for simulating the flow-induced vibration of cylinders. The key feature of the numerical method is that it allows us to simulate flows with moving boundaries on stationary Cartesian grids. The key features of the method are described. The method is used to simulate (a) transverse flow-induced vibration of a cylinder in a freestream where the computed results are compared with theory and other simulations and (b) flow-induced vibration of a cylinder pair where we examine the effect of relative placement of the cylinders on the vibration of the two cylinders.

This thesis presents a framework for simulating the fluid dynamical behavior of complex moving boundary problems in a high-performance computing environment. The framework is implemented in the pELAFINT3D software package. Moving boundaries are evolved in a seamless fashion through the use of distributed narrow band level set methods and the effect of moving boundaries is incorporated into the ...

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 ...

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...
