Experience with DNS of particulate flow using a variant of the immersed boundary method

We perform a grid convergence study for a recently proposed immersed boundary method for DNS of particulate flows with interface resolution [Uhlmann, J. Comput. Phys., 209(2):448-476, 2005]. Two cases of vertical plane Poiseuille flow with suspended heavy particles (with terminal particle Reynolds number >100) are considered, in the laminar and...
