In this seminar, I will present a new diffuse interface model for the numerical simulation of inviscid compressible flows around fixed and moving solid bodies of arbitrary shape assumed to be moving rigid bodies without any elastic properties. The mathematical model is a nonlinear system of hyperbolic conservation laws with non-conservative products, obtained as a simplified case of the seven-equation Baer-Nunziato model of compressible multi-phase flows. In particular, the geometry of the solid bodies is specified via a scalar field that represents the volume fraction of the fluid present in each control volume and allows the discretization of arbitrarily complex geometries on simple uniform Cartesian meshes. Due to the diffuse interface nature of the model, the volume fraction function can assume any value between zero and one in mixed cells that are occupied by both, fluid and solid. Moreover it is also possible to proof that at the material interface the normal component of the fluid velocity assumes the value of the normal component of the solid velocity. The numerical solution is computed via a high order path-conservative ADER discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method with a posteriori sub-cell finite volume (FV) limiter and the effectiveness of the proposed approach is tested on a set of different numerical test problems, including 1D Riemann problems as well as supersonic flows over fixed and moving rigid bodies. I will also take this occasion to briefly introduce my MSCA-IF research project SuPerMan “Structure Preserving schemes for conservation laws on space-time Manifolds” (Grant No 101025563).
