An Immersed Boundary Method for Compressible Flows with Complex Boundaries

Article Preview

Abstract:

An immersed boundary method based on the ghost-cell approach is presented in this paper. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations are discretized using a flux-splitting method for inviscid fluxes and second-order central-difference for the viscous components. High-order accuracy is achieved by using weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) and Runge-Kutta schemes. Boundary conditions are reconstructed by a serial of linear interpolation and inverse distance weighting interpolation of flow variables in fluid domain. Two classic flow problems (flow over a circular cylinder, and a NACA 0012 airfoil) are simulated using the present immersed boundary method, and the predictions show good agreement with previous computational results.
