Combined Immersed-Boundary Finite-Difference Methods for Three-Dimensional Complex Flow Simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, a second-order accurate, highly efficient method is developed for simulating unsteady three-dimensional incompressible flows in complex geometries, which is achieved by using boundary body forces that allow the imposition of the boundary conditions on a given surface not coinciding with the computational grid.
