About the Colloquium

So-called Immersed Boundary Methods (IBM) are gaining an ever increasing
popularity in the CFD community. In these methods, an obstacle is
represented on a non-conforming  grid, often by adding extra momentum
sources in the momentum equations.  Ease of  application and economy in
use (especially important for LES and DNS of turbulent flows) are
reasons for using these methods.

This colloquium is a follow-up of the very successful Euromech/Ercoftac/Eccomas/KNAW colloquium 507 on Immersed Boundaries in 2009. Many open problems were observed at this colloquium, and many exciting developments have taken place since, for instance with respect to the application of IBM with higher order numerical methods, the application to ever larger scale problems, problems which require a very careful treatment of the boundaries, such as acoustic problems, and  the so-called grid-locking problem which is experienced by solid bodies moving moving over a fixed grid. This colloquium aims to address the new developments and applications since the last colloquium.
