Using high resolution three-dimensional computations, we analyzed the flow around several configurations: a sphere, a pair of spheres in a tandem arrangement with center-to-center streamwise ratio L/D ranging from 1 to 6, and a square array with 9 spheres in a uniform arrangement. In the latter case, we explore the ratio of array diameter (<i>D</i>_G) to sphere diameter (D) at 4, 5, 6 and 7. The center-to-center streamwise and transverse pitch is the same, varied from L/D = 1.5, 2, 2.5 to 3, and they were arranged in a square periodic array to allow uniform distribution within the array. Based on the effective direct-forcing immersed boundary projection method, the fractional time marching methodology is applied for solving four field variables involving three velocities and one pressure component. The pressure Poisson equation is advanced in space by using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and a tridiagonal matrix algorithm (TDMA), effectively solving for the diagonally dominant tridiagonal matrix equations. A direct-forcing immersed boundary method is involved to treat the interfacial terms by adding the appropriate sources as force function at the boundary, separating the phases. Geometries featuring the stationary solid obstacles in the flow are embedded in the Cartesian grid with special discretizations near the embedded boundary using a discrete Dirac delta function to ensure the accuracy of the solution in the cut cells.

In this realm, which is valid in the limit of vanishing magnetic Reynolds number, the evaluation of the Lorentz force in the momentum equation requires the electric current density, governed by Ohm's law and a charge conservation condition derived from Ampère's law, to be determined. Once discretized with the SEM, this translates into solving one additional problem for the electric potential involving the so-called consistent Poisson operator. The method is well suited for fully three-dimensional flows in complex geometries. Changes in resolution requirements aside, consideration of the electromagnetic quantities is estimated to increase the computational cost associated with MHD by about 40% relative to hydrodynamics. The accuracy and the capabilities of the scheme is demonstrated on a set of common flows from the MHD literature.

In this work, we present a new isosurface extraction based interface reconstruction scheme based on the Marching Cubes algorithm (MC), which is commonly used in computer graphics for visualizing isosurfaces. The MC algorithm apriori lists and categorizes all possible interface configurations in a single grid cell into a Look Up Table (LUT), which makes this approach fast and robust. We also show that for certain interface configurations, the inverse problem of obtaining the isovalue from the cell volume fraction is not surjective, and a special treatment is required while handling these cases.

Which allows, the total number of grid cells to be reduced and so the computational cost, therefore improving the computational efficiency. But the grid structure of the non-uniform rectangular mesh is no longer applicable to the classic lattice Boltzmann method (CLBM), which is based on the famous BGK collision-streaming evolution. This is why the present study is inspired by the idea of the interpolation-supplemented LBM (ISLBM) methodology. The ISLBM algorithm is improved in the present manuscript and developed into a novel LBM approach through the radial basis function approximation instead of the Lagrangian interpolation scheme. The new approach is validated for both steady states and unsteady periodic solutions. The comparison between the radial basis function approximation and the Lagrangian interpolation is discussed.
