A Study of Immersed Boundary Method in a Ribbed Duct for the Internal Cooling of Turbine Blades

In this dissertation, Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) is evaluated in ribbed duct geometries to show the potential of simulating complex geometry with a simple structured grid. IBM is first investigated in well-accepted benchmark cases: channel flow and pipe flow with circular cross-section. IBM capt...
