Modeling the effect of complex terrain on high Reynolds number flows is important to improve our understanding of flow dynamics in wind farms and the dispersion of pollen and pollutants in hilly or mountainous terrain as well as the flow in urban areas. Unfortunately, simulating high Reynolds number flows over complex terrain is still a big challenge. Therefore, we present a simplified version of the wall modeled immersed boundary method by Chester et al. (J. Comput. Phys. 2007; 225: 427-448). By preventing the extrapolation and iteration steps in the original method, the proposed approach is much easier to implement and more computationally efficient. Furthermore, the proposed method only requires information that is available to each processor and thus is much more efficient for simulations performed on a large number of cores. These are crucial considerations for algorithms that are deployed on modern supercomputers and will allow much higher grid resolutions to be considered. We validate our method against wind tunnel measurements for turbulent flows over wall-mounted cubes, a two dimensional ridge, and a three-dimensional hill. We find very good agreement between the simulation results and the measurement data, which shows this method is suitable to model high Reynolds number flows over complex terrain.

Dispersion of low-density rigid particles with complex geometries is ubiquitous in both natural and industrial environments. We show that while explicit methods for coupling the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and Newtons equations of motion a re often sufficient to solve for the motion of cylindrical particles with low density ratios, for more complex particles - such as a body with a protrusion - they become unstable. We present an implicit formulation of the coupling between rigid body dynamics and fluid dynamics within the framework of the immersed boundary projection method. Similarly to previous work on this method, the resulting matrix equation in the present approach is solved using a block-LU decomposition. Each step of the block-LU decomposition is modified to incorporate the rigid body dynamics. We show that our method achieves second-order accuracy in space and first-order in time (third-order for practical settings), only with a small additional computational cost to the original method. Our implicit coupling yields stable solution for density ratios as low as $10^{-4}$. We also consider the influence of fictitious fluid located inside the rigid bodies on the accuracy and stability of our method.
Two methods for solid body representation in flow simulations available in the Pencil Code are the immersed boundary method and overset grids. These methods are quite different in terms of computational cost, flexibility and numerical accuracy. We pr esent here an investigation of the use of the different methods with the purpose of assessing their strengths and weaknesses. At present, the overset grid method in the Pencil Code can only be used for representing cylinders in the flow. For this task it surpasses the immersed boundary method in yielding highly accurate solutions at moderate computational costs. This is partly due to local grid stretching and a body-conformal grid, and partly due to the possibility of working with local time step restrictions on different grids. The immersed boundary method makes up the lack of computational efficiency with flexibility in regards to application to complex geometries, due to a recent extension of the method that allows our implementation of it to represent arbitrarily shaped objects in the flow.
Deformable elastic bodies in viscous and viscoelastic media constitute a large portion of synthetic and biological complex fluids. We present a parallelized 3D-simulation methodology which fully resolves the momentum balance in the solid and fluid do mains. An immersed boundary algorithm is exploited known as the immersed finite element method (IFEM) which accurately determines the internal forces in the solid domain. The scheme utilized has the advantages of requiring no costly re-meshing, handling finite Reynolds number, as well as incorporating non-linear viscoelasticity in the fluid domain. Our algorithm is designed for computationally efficient simulation of multi-particle suspensions with mixed structure types. The internal force calculation in the solid domain in the IFEM is coupled with a finite volume based incompressible fluid solver, both of which are massively parallelized for distributed memory architectures. We performed extensive case studies to ensure the fidelity of our algorithm. Namely, a series of single particle simulations for capsules, red blood cells, and elastic solid deformable particles were conducted in viscous and viscoelastic media. All of our results are in excellent quantitative agreement with the corresponding reported data in the literature which are based on different simulation platforms. Furthermore, we assess the accuracy of multi-particle simulation of blood suspensions (red blood cells in plasma) with and without platelets. Finally, we present the results of a novel simulation of multiple solid deformable objects in a viscoelastic medium.
In this Letter we suggest a simple and physically transparent analytical model of the pressure driven turbulent wall-bounded flows at high but finite Reynolds numbers Re. The model gives accurate qualitative description of the profiles of the mean-ve locity and Reynolds-stresses (second order correlations of velocity fluctuations) throughout the entire channel or pipe in the wide range of Re, using only three Re-independent parameters. The model sheds light on the long-standing controversy between supporters of the century-old log-law theory of von-K`arm`an and Prandtl and proposers of a newer theory promoting power laws to describe the intermediate region of the mean velocity profile.
In this paper, we consider a non-local (in time) two-phase flow model. The non-locality is introduced through the wettability alteration induced dynamic capillary pressure function. We present a monotone fixed-point iterative linearization scheme for the resulting non-standard model. The scheme treats the dynamic capillary pressure functions semi-implicitly and introduces an $L$-scheme type cite{List2016, Radu2015} stabilization term in the pressure as well as the transport equations. We prove the convergence of the proposed scheme theoretically under physically acceptable assumptions and verify the theoretical analysis with numerical simulations. The scheme is implemented and tested for a variety of reservoir heterogeneity in addition to the dynamic change of the capillary pressure function. The proposed scheme satisfies the predefined stopping criterion within a few numbers of iterations. We also compared the performance of the proposed scheme against the iterative IMplicit Pressure Explicit Saturation scheme
