Abstract
In recent years the popularity of immersed boundary methods has been increasing in computational hydrodynamics. One of the most effective methods of this class is the LS-STAG method developed in 2010, which allows computations on sufficiently coarse grids. A software package was developed to solve a number of hydrodynamics and hydroelasticity problems by the LS-STAG method. We present the results of the testing the developed software package by simulating a flow around two fixed circular airfoils positioned in tandem at different distances between the airfoils. We simulate the flow modes for which two symmetric vortices, two asymmetrical vortices, and a vortex wake form behind the front airfoil. For each mode, the typical time dependences of the drag force and lift coefficients are presented. The results agree well with the experimental data in the literature and numerical results of other authors.
