Abstract

Cut-cell method is a mesh generation method to deal with the complex boundary. In this paper it is presented in the following parts: cut-cell grid type, grid merging technique and the calculation of the related physical quantities at the cut-face. Finally, this method is employed to simulate the two-dimensional fluid flow past a cylinder at small Reynolds numbers, and comparison with the experimental results is executed to verify the method and the reliability of the developed code.
