Abstract

The candidate intends to implement and test a high-order immersed interfaces method for simulating flows around complex geometries on Cartesian grids with high accuracy. Methods will be researched in the bibliography and tested. A method will be chosen and implemented in a program that solves Navier-Stokes equations. (AU)
