Abstract

A Cartesian grid method for computing flows with complex immersed, stationary and moving boundaries is presented in this paper. We introduce an augmented projection method for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in arbitrary domains. In a projection method an intermediate velocity field is calculated from the momentum equations, which is then projected onto the space of divergence-free vector fields. In the proposed augmented projection method, we add one more step, which effectively eliminates spurious velocity field caused by complex immersed moving boundaries. The methodology is validated by comparing it with analytic, previous numerical and experimental results.
