Novel immersed boundary method for fluid-structure interaction of compressible flow

Summary

A 3D fluid-structure interaction (FSI) code is under development. The fluid domain (Navier-Stokes) solver will employ a sharp interface ghost node immersed boundary method (IBM) to apply the boundary conditions at fluid-solid interfaces. The Navier-Stokes (N-S) solver has been verified using a classic Poiseuille channel flow. The current version of the immersed boundary method is being tested by solving a heat conduction problem. The order of accuracy of the IBM was shown to be just above second order.
