A sharp immersed method for 2D flow-body interactions using the vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations by Ji, Xinjie, Gabbard, James, van Rees, Wim M.

“…Here we introduce a sharp-interface approach based on the immersed interface method to handle the one- and two-way coupling between an incompressible flow and one or more rigid bodies using the 2D vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations. Our main contributions are three-fold. First, we develop and analyze a moving boundary treatment for sharp immersed methods that can be applied to PDEs with implicitly defined boundary conditions, such as those commonly imposed on the vorticity field. …”
