Abstract
The objective of this brief review is to showcase recent applications of sharp-interface immersed boundary (IB) method to computationally challenging problems in fluid–structure interaction (FSI). The sharp-interface IB method is briefly reviewed and a scheme to strongly couple the flow and structural solver is discussed. The following applications have been discussed. First, the vortex-induced vibration of a cylinder has been presented. Second, FSI benchmarks of an elastic and a viscoelastic splitter attached on a cylinder involving large-scale flow-induced deformation have been presented. Third, numerical simulations of a FSI benchmark in a heated channel, demonstrating augmentation in convective heat transfer, have been reviewed. Finally, the flow-induced deformation of a thin elastic plate due to blast loading has been presented. In all of these FSI problems, the IB method has been successfully employed to simulate the coupled fluid and structural dynamics.
