Spectral element simulations of flow past an ellipsoid at different Reynolds numbers

A new method is developed to simulate the fully coupled motion involving an ellipsoidal particle and the ambient fluid. This method essentially reduces a two-phase flow problem into a single-phase fluid flow problem. The momentum exchange at the interface between the particle and the fluid is co...
