Abstract

A conservative and consistent three-dimensional Cartesian cut-cell method is presented for reducing the spurious pressure oscillations often observed in moving body simulations in sharp-interface Cartesian grid methods. By analysing the potential sources of the oscillation in the cut-cell framework, an improved moving body algorithm is proposed for the cut-cell method for the temporal discontinuity of the solid volume change. Strict conservation of mass and momentum for both fluid and cut cells is enforced through pressure-velocity coupling to reduce local mass conservation errors. A consistent mass and momentum flux computation is employed in the finite volume method. In contrary to the commonly cut-cell methods, an implicit time integration scheme is employed in the present method, which prevents numerical instability without any additional small cut-cell treatment. The effectiveness of the present cut-cell method for reducing spurious pressure oscillations is demonstrated by simulating various two- and three-dimensional benchmark cases (in-line and transversely oscillating cylinder, oscillating and free-falling sphere), with good agreement with previous experimental measurements and other numerical methods available in the literature.
