| ABSTRACT: |
---|
| The proposed extended immersed boundary method (EIBM) has several |
---|
| distinct features in comparison with the immersed boundary (IB) method. In |
---|
| the IB method, the interaction between the immersed elastic boundary and |
---|
| the surrounding viscous fluid is replaced with an equivalent body force |
---|
| distribution within the fluid domain. The key ingredient of the IB method |
---|
| is the enforcement of the energy input from the equivalent body force into |
---|
| the fluid domain to be the same (at all time) as that of the elastic forces |
---|
| within the IB. In EIBM, instead of the volumeless immersed elastic |
---|
| boundary, we consider the submerged elastic solid which occupies a finite |
---|
| volume within the fluid domain. In particular, we replace the kinematic and |
---|
| dynamic matching of the fluid-solid interface and the effect of the |
---|
| submerged solid with a judiciously chosen collection of equivalent nodal |
---|
| forces calculated in the context of finite element formulations. The |
---|
| employment of the finite element representation enables a realistic stress |
---|
| analysis for the submerged solid subject to large deformations. Finally, in |
---|
| EIBM, we also replace the discretized delta function commonly used in the |
---|
| IB method with the kernel functions in meshless reproducing kernel particle |
---|
| method (RKPM). With this improvement, using the same finite support domain, |
---|
| we could improve the discretized delta function from C' to C" continuity, |
---|
| where n is chosen according to the required smoothness and resolution of |
---|
| such functions, and more importantly, enables the use of non-uniform |
---|
| meshing in the fluid domain. These extensions may eventually open doors to |
---|
| the modelling of complex biological fluid involving molecular, cellular, |
---|
| and flexible vessel-flow interactions. |
