Abstract

Applying numerical simulation technology to investigate fluid-solid interaction involving complex curved boundaries is vital in aircraft design, ocean, and construction engineering. However, current methods such as Lattice Boltzmann (LBM) and the immersion boundary method based on solid ratio (IMB) have limitations in identifying custom curved boundaries. Meanwhile, IBM based on velocity correction (IBM-VC) suffers from inaccuracies and numerical instability. Therefore, this study introduces a high-accuracy curve boundary recognition method (IMB-CB), which identifies boundary nodes by moving the search box, and corrects the weighting function in LBM by calculating the solid ratio of the boundary nodes, achieving accurate recognition of custom curve boundaries. In addition, curve boundary image and dot methods are utilized to verify IMB-CB. The findings revealed that IMB-CB can accurately identify the boundary, showing an error of less than 1.8% with 500 lattices. Also, the flow in the custom curve boundary and aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA0012 airfoil are calculated and compared to IBM-VC. Results showed that IMB-CB yields lower lift and drag coefficient errors than IBM-VC, with a 1.45% drag coefficient error. In addition, the characteristic curve of IMB-CB is very stable, whereas that of IBM-VC is not. For the moving boundary problem, LBM-IMB-CB with discrete element method (DEM) is capable of accurately simulating the physical phenomena of multi-moving particle flow in complex curved pipelines. This research proposes a new curve boundary recognition method, which can significantly promote the stability and accuracy of fluid-solid interaction simulations and thus has huge applications in engineering.
