Free-boundary method for the numerical solution of gas-dynamic equations in domains with varying geometry (original) (raw)

Mathematical Models and Computer Simulations, 2014

Abstract

A novel method is proposed for numerical solution of gas-dynamic equations on stationary Cartesian grids in domains containing solid impermeable and, in the general case, moving inclusions (objects). The suggested technique is based on the immersed boundary method, in which the computational domain (including solid objects) is covered by a single Cartesian grid and the calculation is carried out by the shock-capturing method over all cells. Under this approach, the influence of the solid inclusions on the flow of the gas medium is simulated by the introduction of specially selected mass, momentum, and energy fluxes into the right-hand side of the equations. The currently developed methods for the solution of this class of problems are surveyed and the advantages of the proposed approach are discussed. The method is verified by calculating some test problems that admit analytical solutions and it is used to solve the problem of supersonic flow around a blunt body. The results are compared with the calculation findings based on the standard curvilinear grid tied to the geometry of the body.
