Abstract: | This paper presents an implementation of an implicit immersed boundary (IB) method in a flow solver based on the fractional step method and the finite volume method for complex flows involving moving boundaries and complex geometries. In this implementation, a body force caused by the immersed body is first introduced into the N-S equation to model the effect of immersed boundary. However, the body force is not pre-calculated, but implicitly determined in such a way that the velocity at the immersed boundary interpolated from the corrected velocity field accurately satisfies the no-slip and no-penetration conditions. Then, the large-eddy simulation is applied in the solver, where the subgrid-scale stress is determined by the Smagorinsky–Lilly model. Near the immersed boundaries, the subgrid-scale stress is determined by a wall model where the wall shear stress is directly calculated from the Lagrangian force(which represents the action of fluid on solid) on the immersed boundary. Such treatment makes the simulations of high Reynolds number turbulent flows feasible with the IB method. The accuracy and capability of the present method are demonstrated by simulations of a variety of both two- and three-dimensional simulations, including laminar flow past static and oscillating cylinders, rotating hydrofoil and turbulent flow around a three-dimensional circular cylinder and a sphere. It shows that the present implementation provides an easy-to-use, inexpensive and accurate technique for computational fluid dynamics in industrially relevant problems. |
