NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERACTION OF CYLINDER AND SHOCKWAVE BASED ON THE IMMERSED BOUNDARY METHOD

摘要

The immersed boundary method (IBM) is an innovative approach for modeling flow with complex geometries and is more efficient than traditional method. In the present investigation, the shock wave propagation over one circular cylinder is simulated numerically with the Ghost-Body Immersed Boundary Method and high-resolution Roe scheme. To validate the IBM, a plane incident shock wave passing through a square cylinder is predicted and good agreement with previous experiments was obtained. Then based on our calculation, the reflection and diffraction processes of a shock wave passing through a circular cylinder were visualized and discussed in detail.
