Abstract In this paper, we present a numerical scheme, based on the direct forcing immersed boundary (DFIB) approach and compact integrated radial basis function (CIRBF) approximations, for solving the Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions. The problem domain of complicated shape is embedded in a Cartesian grid containing Eulerian nodes. Non-slip conditions on the inner boundaries, represented by Lagrangian nodes, are imposed by means of the DFIB method, in which a smoothed version of the discrete delta functions is utilised to transfer the physical quantities between two types of nodes. The velocities and pressure variables are approximated More >
