Abstract

The numerical simulation associated with fluid–structure interaction problems is very complicated for the grid regeneration in the traditional method. In the present work, a fast explicit numerical method is established to solve the unsteady flow with oscillation of a rotor blade on the basis of the immersed boundary method. The governing equations are discretized on simple Cartesian meshes by using the immersed boundary method and the blade can move arbitrarily in the computational domain. It is found that the oscillation of rotor blades is influenced greatly by the reduced velocity and cascade solidity.
