This work introduces an immersed boundary method for two-dimensional simulation of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The method uses flow field mapping on the immersed boundary and performs a contour integration to calculate immersed boundary forces. This takes into account the relative location of the immersed boundary inside the background grid elements by using inverse distance weights, and also considers the curvature of the immersed boundary edges. The governing equations of the fluid mechanics are solved using a Galerkin-Least squares finite element formulation. The model is validated against a stationary and a vertically oscillating circular cylinder in a cross flow. The results of the model show acceptable accuracy when compared to experimental and numerical results.

An immersed boundary method based on the ghost-cell approach is presented in this paper. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations are discretized using a flux-splitting method for inviscid fluxes and second-order central-difference for the viscous components. High-order accuracy is achieved by using weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) and Runge-Kutta schemes. Boundary conditions are reconstructed by a serial of linear interpolation and inverse distance weighting interpolation of flow variables in fluid domain. Two classic flow problems (flow over a circular cylinder, and a NACA 0012 airfoil) are simulated using the present immersed boundary method, and the predictions show good agreement with previous computational results.
