Penalization Technique

In this work, a hybrid particle-penalization technique is proposed to achieve accurate and efficient computations of 3D incompressible flows past bluff bodies. This immersed boundary approach indeed maintains the efficiency and the robustness of vortex methods and allows to easily model complex media, like solid-fluid-porous ones, without prescribing any boundary condition. In this paper, the method is applied to implement porous coatings on a hemisphere in order to passively control the flow dynamics.

Penalization Methods

In this work, a coupling of vortex methods with penalization methods is proposed in order to accurately and easily handle solid-fluid-porous media. This immersed boundary approach indeed maintains the efficiency and the robustness of vortex methods and allows to model the three different media without prescribing any boundary condition. In this paper, we propose an application of this immersed boundary method to passive flow control around a semi-circular cylinder, realized adding a porous sheath on the obstacle surface in order to smooth the flow dynamics.

Boundary Method

This study develops an extension of a variational-based multiple-Doppler radar synthesis method to construct the three-dimensional wind field over complex topography. The immersed boundary method (IBM) is implemented to take into account the influence imposed by a nonflat surface. The IBM has the merit of providing realistic topographic forcing without the need to change the Cartesian grid configuration into a terrain-following coordinate system. Both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions for the wind fields can be incorporated. The wind fields above the terrain are obtained by variationally adjusting the solutions to satisfy a series of weak constraints, which include the multiple-radar radial velocity observations, anelastic continuity equation, vertical vorticity equation, background wind, and spatial smoothness terms. Experiments using model-simulated data reveal that the flow structures over complex orography can be successfully retrieved using radial velocity measurements from multiple Doppler radars. The primary advantages of the original synthesis method are still maintained, that is, the winds along and near the radar baseline are well retrieved, and the resulting three-dimensional flow fields can be used directly for vorticity budget diagnosis. If compared with the traditional wind synthesis algorithm, this method is able to merge data from different sources, and utilize data from any number of radars. This provides more flexibility in designing various scanning strategies, so that the atmosphere may be probed more efficiently using a multiple-radar network. This method is also tested using the radar data collected during the Southwest Monsoon Experiment (SoWMEX), which was conducted in Taiwan from May to June 2008 with reasonable results being obtained.

The immediate aim of this study is to check the accuracy of Kajishima’s method (one kind of immersed boundary method) for the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent channel flow over a complicated bed. In this paper, the simulation of three dimensional, time -dependent turbulent flows over a fixed hemisphere at the bed of an open channel is carried out. A finite different method (FDM) is applied with a staggered Cartesian mesh. The forces, the moments about the center of the hemisphere, and the distribution of pressure on the hemisphere in the plane of symmetry are calculated.

Sudden Contraction

The immersed boundary method has attracted considerable interest in the last few years. The method is a computational cheap alternative to represent the boundaries of a geometrically complex body, while using a cartesian mesh, by adding a force term in the momentum equation. The advantage of this is that bodies of any arbitrary shape can be added without grid restructuring, a procedure which is often time-consuming. Furthermore, multiple bodies may be simulated, and relative motion of those bodies may be accomplished at reasonable computational cost. The numerical platform in development has a parallel distributed-memory implementation to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. The Finite Volume Method is used in the spatial discretization where the diffusive terms are approximated by the central difference method. The temporal discretization is accomplished using the Adams-Bashforth method. Both temporal and spatial discretizations are second-order accurate. The Velocity-pressure coupling is done using the fractional-step method of two steps. The present work applies the immersed boundary method to simulate a Newtonian laminar flow through a three-dimensional sudden contraction. Results are compared to published literature. Flow patterns upstream and downstream of the contraction region are analysed at various Reynolds number in the range 44 ≤ R e D ≤ 993 for the large tube and 87 ≤ R e D ≤ 1956 for the small tube, considerating a contraction ratio of β = 1 . 97 . Comparison between numerical and experimental velocity profiles has shown good agreement.

Cylinder Flow

In this work, a Cartesian-grid immersed boundary method using a cut-cell approach is applied to three-dimensional in-cylinder flow. A hierarchically coupled level-set solver is used to capture the boundary motion by a signed distance function. Topological changes in the geometry due to the opening and closing events of the valves are modeled consistently using multiple signed distance functions for the different components of the engine and taking advantage of a level-set reinitialization method. A continuous discretization of the flow equations in time near the moving interfaces is used to prevent nonphysical oscillations. To ensure an efficient implementation, independent grid adaptation for the flow and the level-set grid is applied. A narrow band approach and an efficient joining/splitting algorithm for the level-set functions minimize the computational overhead to track multiple interfaces. The ability of the current method to handle complex 3D setups is demonstrated for the interface capturing and the flow solution in a three-dimensional piston engine geometry.
