A method for the large-eddy simulation (LES) of wildfire spread over complex terrain is presented. In this scheme, a cut-cell immersed boundary method (CC-IBM) is used to render the complex terrain, defined by a tessellation, on a rectilinear Cartesi...

An automatic hole-cutting method is proposed to search donor cells between a structured Cartesian mesh and an overlapping body-fitted mesh. The main flow is simulated on the structured Cartesian mesh and the viscous flow near the solid boundary is si...

The volume-of-fluid (VOF) method is widely used for multiphase flow simulations, where the VOF function implicitly represents the interface through the volume fraction field. The height function (HF) method on a Cartesian grid integrates the volume f...
