(author) In this paper we discuss some of the recent advances in the immersed boundary (IB) method. More specifically, we show the application of this technique to problems with strong fluid/structure interaction and to compressible flows using local mesh refinement. These extensions are a must for the success of the IB method in industrial applications.
