This paper presents an immersed boundary method combined with a wall-layer approach implemented into an established flow solver. In the outer flow field, the compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved using an approximate Riemann Solver whereas simplified boundary-layer equations are solved near the wall. Turbulence is accounted for by the one-equation model of Spalart-Allmaras in the outer flow region and by a mixing length eddy viscosity model with near wall damping in the wall layer. Computations performed for various test cases show good agreement with reference data found in literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
