Abstract-
This talk presents work on the 3D Vortex element method for
incompressible flows. Particle redistribution schemes based on the
face-centered cubic lattice are introduced. Flows around moving
boundaries are considered. The terms due to the rotation or deformation
of boundaries are included in the Biot-Savart summation.
Near-wall vorticity is discretized with elements with specific shape
functions.
The flow around a spinning sphere at Re=300 and a spin rate WR/U = 0.5
is studied for three directions of rotation.
Results for flapping and swimming motions are also presented.
