Uniform Error Estimates for Navier--Stokes Flow with an Exact Moving Boundary Using the Immersed Interface Method

Uniform Error Estimates for Navier-stokes Flow with a Moving Boundary Using the Immersed Interface Method

We prove that uniform accuracy of almost second order can be achieved with a finite difference method applied to Navier-Stokes flow at low Reynolds number with a moving boundary, or interface, creating jumps in the velocity gradient and pressure. Difference operators are corrected to O(h) near the interface using the immersed interface method, adding terms related to the jumps, on a regular gri...

An Immersed Interface Method for Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations

An Immersed Interface Method for the Incompressible Navier--Stokes Equations with Discontinuous Viscosity Across the Interface

We present an immersed interface method for solving the incompressible Navier– Stokes equations with discontinuous viscosity across the interface and singular forces. The method is based on the augmented strategy proposed by Li, Ito, and Lai [Comput. Fluids, 36 (2007), pp. 622–635] to decouple the jump conditions of the fluid variables through the introduction of two augmented variables. In the...

The Immersed Interface Method forthe Navier–Stokes Equationswith Singular Forces

Peskin’s Immersed Boundary Method has been widely used for simulating many fluid mechanics and biology problems. One of the essential components of the method is the usage of certain discrete delta functions to deal with singular forces along one or several interfaces in the fluid domain. However, the Immersed Boundary Method is known to be first-order accurate and usually smears out the soluti...

An efficient numerical method for the two-fluid Stokes equations with a moving immersed boundary

We consider the immersed boundary problem in which the boundary separates two very viscous fluids with differing viscosities. The moving elastic boundary may exert a force on the local fluid. The model solution is obtained using the immersed interface method, which computes second-order accurate approximations by incorporating known jumps in the solution or its derivatives into a finite differe...
