Abstract
A new method developed for immersed boundary problems is presented. With this method, the fluxes through the computational faces are controlled using a so-called “hinge” matrix. The method is simple to implement, and is comparable in accuracy to other immersed boundary methods, such as the Cartesian grid method. However, by using the hinge matrix to control the fluxes, complex interpolations are avoided. The hinge method is verified by solving the energy conservation and the solid mechanics equations over an irregular geometry. The results shows that spatial accuracy is maintained even when a coarse mesh is used. The method is then applied to carbon fiber modeling, where pits are formed due to oxidation. Results show that the pits will slightly re-distribute the temperature under the condition where no heat flux is imposed on the pitted surfaces.
