In order to develop an immersed boundary method for direct numerical simulation of turbulent and complicated boundary flow, we perform the method proposed by Kajishima for a fully developed turbulent channel flow with a hemisphere at the bed. The correlation between drag and lift, history of rollup moments about the specified contact axis and the distribution of pressure over the hemisphere in the plane of symmetry are presented. We also focus on instants of high rollup moment structure of the flow.

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.

We have developed a Direct Numerical Simulation combined with the Immersed Boundary method (DNS-IB) to study heat transfer in particulate flows. In this method, fluid velocity and temperature fields are obtained by solving the modified momentum and heat transfer equations, which result from the presence of heated particles in the fluid; particles are tracked individually and their velocities and positions are solved based on the equations of linear and angular motions; particle temperature is assumed to be a constant. The momentum and heat exchanges between a particle and the surrounding fluid at its surface are resolved using the immersed boundary method with the direct forcing scheme. The DNS-IB method has been used to study heat transfer of 1024 of heated spheres in a fluidized bed. By exploring the rich data generated from the DNS-IB simulations, we are able to obtain statistically averaged fluid and particle velocity as well as overall heat transfer rate in a fluidized bed.
