Vorticity field in the wake behind a snake cross-section at a Reynolds number of 2000 and 35-degrees angle of attack.
These animations show the vortex wake behind a snake cross-section (two-dimensional profile), obtained with full Navier-Stokes simulation. The solver is an immersed boundary method that uses GPU hardware, cuIBM (open-source under the MIT license). The cases shown vary in Reynolds number (Re=1000, 2000) and angle... Continue »
We have developed a Navier-Stokes solver, called cuIBM, to simulate incompressible flows using immersed boundary methods. This document provides background on the numerical methods implemented in the cuIBM code framework and evidence of the validation exercise carried out by the authors. The code provides... Continue »
