In this study, we intend to develop a high-order numerical approach using the immersed-boundary method to solve problems with complex and moving boundaries such as biological locomotion (animal swimming and flying) and biomedical flow systems. The basic idea is to use the compact finite-difference scheme to resolve the flow field and a higher-order forcing scheme to treat the immersed boundaries. In this work, the one-dimensional formulation of the numerical approach is presented and is tested extensively for its convergence. Such tests are necessary before more complicated tests in 2D/3D. An overall third-order accuracy is achieved as desired. Extension to higher dimensions is ongoing.

For numerical simulations of ship and offshore hydrodynamic problems, it is challenging to model the interaction between the free surface and moving complex geometries. This paper proposes a discrete-forcing immersed boundary method (IBM) to efficiently simulate moving solid boundaries in incompressible air–water two-phase flows. In the present work, the air–water two-phase flows are modeled using the Volume-of-Fluid (VoF) method. The present IBM is suitable for unstructured meshes. It can be used combined with body-fitted wall boundaries to model the relative motions between solid walls, which makes it flexible to use in practical applications. A field extension method is used to model the interaction between the air–water interface and the immersed boundaries. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated through validation cases, including the three-dimensional dam-break problem with an obstacle, the water exit of a circular cylinder, and a ship model advancing with a rotating semi-balanced rudder. The flow field, free-surface profile and force on the immersed boundaries (IBs) are in good agreement with experimental data and other numerical results.
