| contents | Immersed methods discretize boundary conditions for complex geometries on background Cartesian grids. This makes such methods especially suitable for two-way coupled flow-body problems, where the body mechanics are partially driven by hydrodynamic forces. However, for the vorticity-velocity form of the Navier-Stokes equations, existing immersed geometry discretizations for two-way coupled problems only achieve first order spatial accuracy near solid boundaries. Here we introduce a sharp-interface approach based on the immersed interface method to handle the one- and two-way coupling between an incompressible flow and one or more rigid bodies using the 2D vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations. Our main contributions are three-fold. First, we develop and analyze a moving boundary treatment for sharp immersed methods that can be applied to PDEs with implicitly defined boundary conditions, such as those commonly imposed on the vorticity field. Second, we develop a two-way coupling methodology for the vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations based on control-volume momentum balance that does not require the pressure field. Third, we show through extensive testing and validation that our resulting flow-body solver reaches second-order accuracy for most practical scenarios, and provides significant efficiency benefits compared to a representative first-order approach. |
