Penalized direct-dorcing method and power-law-based wall model for immersed-boundary numerical simulations of obstacles in turbulent flow

Summary

In this paper, academic and industrial test cases have been conducted in order to validate the approach of using a Penalized Direct Forcing method coupled with an immersed turbulent wall model. Good results are obtained compared to a body fitted mesh with the Werner & Wengle wall model. In a shortcoming second step, we can project the coupling between the immersed wall law and a K-epsilon model, as well as obstacle shape optimization during the flow computation.
