Flow Around A Body

An unstructured grid-based, parallel incompressible flow solver has been developed for solving the three-dimensional non-linear flow around a body in or near the free surface. The incompressible Euler/Navier-Stokes equations are solved together with or without the free surface equation. The overall scheme combines a finite-element, equal-order, projection-type three-dimensional incompressible flow solver with a finite element, two-dimensional advection equation solver for the free surface equation. The solution is marched in time until a steady state is reached. The computer code developed based on the method described above has been applied to the simulation study of the three-dimensional nonlinear flow around a flying fish when it swims underwater, taxis on the free surface, and glides above water.
