Finite volume immersed boundary solvers for compressible flows development and applications

Abstract

This thesis is devoted to the development of a robust and accurate Immersed Boundary Finite Volume IB FV framework for compressible flows and their applications to design and optimisation The framework is devised by combining an unstructured data based finite volume flow solver with a sharp interface immersed boundary method The finite volume flow solver employs limited linear reconstruction in conjunction with vanLeer and AUSM schemes for convective fluxes while central differencing is empl...
