β¦ Synopsis
A new finite difference numerical method for modeling the interaction between flexible elastic membranes and an incompressible fluid in a two-dimensional domain is presented. The method differs from existing methods in the way the forces exerted by the membranes on the fluid are modeled. These are described by a collection of regularized point forces, and the velocity field they induce is computed directly on a regular Cartesian grid via a smoothed dipole potential. Comparisons between this method and the immersed boundary method of Peskin and McQueen are presented. The results show that the method proposed here preserves volumes better and has a higher order of convergence.

## Abstract The analysis and improvement of an immersed boundary method (IBM) for simulating turbulent flows over complex geometries are presented. Direct forcing is employed. It consists in interpolating boundary conditions from the solid body to the Cartesian mesh on which the computation is perf
A computational setting for the Immersed Boundary Method employing an adaptive mesh refinement is presented. Enhanced accuracy for the method is attained locally by covering an immersed boundary vicinity with a sequence of nested, progressively finer rectangular grid patches which dynamically follow
The Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method allows one to use a nodal data structure (usually with an underlying cell structure) within the domain of a body of arbitrary shape. The usual EFG combines Moving Least-Squares (MLS) interpolants with a variational principle (weak form) and has been used to sol
