AbstractAn iterative solver based on the immersed interface method is proposed to solve the pressure in a two-fluid flow on a Cartesian grid with second-order accuracy in the infinity norm. The iteration is constructed by introducing an unsteady term in the pressure Poisson equation. In each iteration step, a Helmholtz equation is solved on the Cartesian grid using FFT. The combination of the iteration and the immersed interface method enables the solver to handle various jump conditions across two-fluid interfaces. This solver can also be used to solve Poisson equations on irregular domains.

AbstractIn this paper, an immersed interface method is presented to simulate the dynamics of inextensible interfaces in an incompressible flow. The tension is introduced as an augmented variable to satisfy the constraint of interface inextensibility and the resulting augmented system is solved by the GMRES method. In this work, the arclength of the interface is locally and globally conserved as the enclosed region undergoes deformation. The forces at the interface are calculated from the configuration of the interface and the computed augmented variable, and then applied to the fluid through the related jump conditions. The governing equations are discretized on a MAC grid via a second-order finite difference scheme which incorporates jump contributions and solved by the conjugate gradient Uzawa-type method. The proposed method is applied to several examples including the deformation of a liquid capsule with inextensible interfaces in a shear flow. Numerical results reveal that both the area enclosed by interface and arclength of interface are conserved well simultaneously. These provide further evidence on the capability of the present method to simulate incompressible flows involving inextensible interfaces.
