Immersed Boundary Method Application as a Way to Deal with the Three-Dimensional Sudden Contraction

The immersed boundary method has attracted considerable interest in the last few years. The method is a computational cheap alternative to represent the boundaries of a geometrically complex body, while using a cartesian mesh, by adding a force term in the momentum equation. The advantage of this is...
