This paper proposes a novel immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method （IB-LBM） based on the feedback law. The method uses the immersed boundary concept in the LBM framework to capture the coupling between a body with complex geometry and a uniform fluid, Then, the flows around a stationary circular cylinder and two circular cylinders in a side by side arrangement are simulated by using the method. Results are agreed well with the benchmark data, so, the capability of the method for complex geometry is demonstrated. Different from the conventional IB-LBM, which uses the Hook＇s law or the direct forcing method to compute the interae- tion force, the method uses the feedback law--the feedback of velocity field and displacement information to calculate the force, thus ensuring the method has advantages of easy implementation and full parallelism.展开更多

The underwater vehicle model is taken as the DARPA SUBOFF with full appendages, where the Reynolds number based on the hull length is 1.0x 105, An immersed boundary method based on the moving-least-squares reconstruction is used to handle the complex geometric boundaries. The adaptive mesh refinement is utilized to resolve the flows near the hull, The parallel scalabilities of the flow solver are tested on meshes with the number of cells varying from 50 million to 3.2 billion, The parallel solver reaches nearly linear scalability for the flows around the underwater vehicle model, The present simulation captures the essential features of the vortex structures near the hull and in the wake, Both of the time-averaged pressure coefficients and srreamwise velocity profiles obtained from the LES are consistent with the characteristics of the flows pass an appended axisymmetric body. The code efficiency and its correct predictions on flow features allow us to perform the full-scale simulations on tens of thousands of cores with billions of grid points for higher-Reynolds-number flows around the underwater vehicles.展开更多

The Navier-Stokes equation is discretized spatially with collocated finite volume method and Eulerian implicit method in time domain. The hybrid method that combines immersed boundary method （IBM） and volume of fluid （VOF） method is used to deal with rigid body motion in fluid domain. The details of movement of immersed boundary （IB） and calculation of VOF are also described. This method can be easily applied to any existing finite-volume-based computational fluid dynamics （CFD） solver without complex operation, with which fluid flow interaction of arbitrarily complex geometry can be realized on a fixed mesh. The method is verified by low Reynolds number flows passing both stationary and oscillating cylinders. The drag and lift coefficients acquired by the study well accord with other published results, which indicate the reasonability of the proposed method.展开更多

Based on an immersed boundary method, the numerical model is established, and is verified through the benchmark problem of flow past a freely rotating rectangular body.The computation is performed for a fixed reduced mass of m~*=2.0 and the structural stiffness and damping ratio are set to zero. The effects of Reynolds number(Re=25-180) on the characteristics of VIR are studied. It is found that the dynamic response of the triangular cylinder exhibits four distinct modes with increasing Re: a rest position,periodic rotational oscillation, random rotation and autorotation. For the rotational oscillation mode, the cylinder undergoes a periodic vibration around an equilibrium position with one side facing the incoming flow. Since the rotation effect, the outset of vortex shedding from cylinder shifts to a much lower Reynolds number. Further increase in Re leads to 2 P and P+S vortex shedding modes besides the typical 2 S pattern. Our simulation results also elucidate that the free rotation significantly changes the drag and lift forces. Inspired by these facts, the effect of free rotation on flow-induced vibration of a triangular cylinder in the in-line and transverse directions is investigated. The results show that when the translational vibration is coupled with rotation, the triangular cylinder presents a galloping response instead of vortex-induced vibration(VIV).展开更多

The Reynolds average Navier-Stockes(RANS) solver is applied to all gird nodes to deal with different velocities of the nodes that are in the body boundary, near the boundary and out of the boundary and their effect on the fluid. The towing cylinder resistance at different submerged depths in the tank is presented. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data, and the method is verified and validated. Finally, the hydrodynamic characters of the cylinder are discussed further. The numerical and experimental results show that at high speeds, the deeper the cylinder submerges, the lower resistance it suffers. The resistance coefficient trough is obtained at Froude number in the range of 0.3 < F r < 0.4. These phenomena can provide some suggestions on the small waterplane area twin hull(SWATH) design.展开更多

文摘A numerical study of vortex-induced rotations(VIRs) of an equivalent triangular cylinder, which is free to rotate in the azimuthal direction in a uniform flow, is presented. Based on an immersed boundary method, the numerical model is established, and is verified through the benchmark problem of flow past a freely rotating rectangular body.The computation is performed for a fixed reduced mass of m~*=2.0 and the structural stiffness and damping ratio are set to zero. The effects of Reynolds number(Re=25-180) on the characteristics of VIR are studied. It is found that the dynamic response of the triangular cylinder exhibits four distinct modes with increasing Re: a rest position,periodic rotational oscillation, random rotation and autorotation. For the rotational oscillation mode, the cylinder undergoes a periodic vibration around an equilibrium position with one side facing the incoming flow. Since the rotation effect, the outset of vortex shedding from cylinder shifts to a much lower Reynolds number. Further increase in Re leads to 2 P and P+S vortex shedding modes besides the typical 2 S pattern. Our simulation results also elucidate that the free rotation significantly changes the drag and lift forces. Inspired by these facts, the effect of free rotation on flow-induced vibration of a triangular cylinder in the in-line and transverse directions is investigated. The results show that when the translational vibration is coupled with rotation, the triangular cylinder presents a galloping response instead of vortex-induced vibration(VIV).

文摘The immersed boundary method has been widely used for simulating flows over complex geometries.However,its accuracy in predicting the statistics of near-wall turbulence has not been fully tested.In this work,we evaluate the capability of the curvilinear immersed boundary(CURVIB)method in predicting near-wall velocity and pressure fluctuations in turbulent channel flows.Simulation results show that quantities including the time-averaged streamwise velocity,the rms(root-mean-square)of velocity fluctuations,the rms of vorticity fluctuations,the shear stresses,and the correlation coefficients of u'and v"computed from the CURVIB simulations are in good agreement with those from the body-fitted simulations.More importantly,it is found that the time-averaged pressure,the rms and wavenumber-frequency spectra of pressure fluctuations computed using the CURVIB method agree well with the body-fitted results.

文摘An immersed body boundary method is adopted to track the motions of a towing cylinder, and a homogenous multiphase Eulerian-Eulerian fluid approach is used to capture the free surface. The Reynolds average Navier-Stockes(RANS) solver is applied to all gird nodes to deal with different velocities of the nodes that are in the body boundary, near the boundary and out of the boundary and their effect on the fluid. The towing cylinder resistance at different submerged depths in the tank is presented. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data, and the method is verified and validated. Finally, the hydrodynamic characters of the cylinder are discussed further. The numerical and experimental results show that at high speeds, the deeper the cylinder submerges, the lower resistance it suffers. The resistance coefficient trough is obtained at Froude number in the range of 0.3 < F r < 0.4. These phenomena can provide some suggestions on the small waterplane area twin hull(SWATH) design.

文摘A hybrid approach based on the immersed boundary method(IBM)is developed for computation of flow-induced sound around moving bodies.In this method,a high-fidelity direct numerical simulation(DNS)solver is used to simulate the incompressible flow field.The sound field is predicted by discretizing acoustic perturbation equations(APEs)with dispersionrelation-preserving space scheme and low-dispersion and low-dissipation Runge-Kutta time integration.A sharp-interface IBM based on ghost-cell is implemented for present two-step DNS-APE approach to deal with complex moving bodies with Cartesian grids.The present method is validated through simulations of sound generation caused by flow past a rotating cylinder,an oscillating cylinder,and tandem oscillating and stationary cylinders.The sound generated by typical kinds of complicated bio-inspired locomotions,i.e.,flapping flight by wings of varied shapes and collective undulatory swimming in tandem,are investigated using present method.The results demonstrate potential of the hybrid approach in addressing flowinduced sound generation and propagation with complex moving boundaries in a fluid medium,especially for the sound characteristics of bio-mimetic flows,which might shed lights on investigations on bio-acoustics,ethology of complex animal system,and related bio-mimetic design for quietness.
文摘A new and computationally efficient version of the immersed boundary method,which is combined with the coarse-graining method,is introduced for modeling inextensible filaments immersed in low-Reynolds number flows.This is used to represent actin biopolymers,which are constituent elements of the cytoskeleton,a complex network-like structure that plays a fundamental role in shape morphology.An extension of the traditional immersed boundary method to include a stochastic stress tensor is also proposed in order to model the thermal fluctuations in the fluid at smaller scales.By way of validation,the response of a single,massless,inextensible semiflexible filament immersed in a thermally fluctuating fluid is obtained using the suggested numerical scheme and the resulting time-averaged contraction of the filament is compared to the theoretical value obtained from the worm-like chain model.

文摘Immersed boundary method is a crucial method to deal with particle suspension flow.Particle shapes involved in such flow are usually simple geometry,such as sphere and ellipsoid,which can be conveniently represented by the triangular surface grid.When the number of particles and resolution of the surface grid increase,calculating the hydrodynamic force on the particle surface through integration can be time-consuming.Hence,the present paper establishes a fast mapping method to evaluate immersed boundary hydrodynamic force.Firstly,the particle surface grid is generated by an initial triangular element grid.Subsequently,the initial surface grid is refined by bisection refinement to the desired resolution.The final step is to find the triangular element index on the particle triangular surface grid,which contains the projective point.Test cases show that the present mapping algorithm has good accuracy and efficiency for calculating hydrodynamic forces of particles.
文摘An iterative direct-forcing immersed boundary method is extended and used to solve convection heat transfer problems.The pressure,momentum source,and heat source at immersed boundary points are calculated simultaneously to achieve the best coupling.Solutions of convection heat transfer problems with both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are presented.Two approaches for the implementation of Neumann boundary condition,i.e.direct and indirect methods,are introduced and compared in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency.Validation test cases include forced convection on a heated cylinder in an unbounded flow field and mixed convection around a circular body in a lid-driven cavity.Furthermore,the proposed method is applied to study the mixed convection around a heated rotating cylinder in a square enclosure with both iso-heat flux and iso-thermal boundary conditions.Computational results show that the order of accuracy of the indirect method is less than the direct method.However,the indirect method takes less computational time both in terms of the implementation of the boundary condition and the post processing time required to compute the heat transfer variables such as the Nusselt number.It is concluded that the iterative direct-forcing immersed boundary method is a powerful technique for the solution of convection heat transfer problems with stationary/moving boundaries and various boundary conditions.

文摘Most algorithms of the immersed boundary method originated by Peskin are explicit when it comes to the computation of the elastic forces exerted by the immersed boundary to the fluid. A drawback of such an explicit approach is a severe restriction on the time step size for maintaining numerical stability. An implicit immersed boundary method in two dimensions using the lattice Boltzmann approach has been proposed. This paper reports an extension of the method to three dimensions and its application to simulation of a massive flexible sheet interacting with an incompressible viscous flow.
