This study is aimed at developing a novel computational framework that seamlessly incorporates the feedback forcing model and adaptive mesh refinement mesh refinement (AMR) techniques in the immersed-boundary (IB) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) approach, so that challenging problems, including the interactions between flowing fluids and moving objects, can be numerically investigated. Owing to the feedback forcing based IB model, the advantages, such as simple mechanics principle, explicit interpolations, and inherent satisfaction of no-slip boundary condition for solid surfaces are fully exhibited. Additionally, the "bubble' function is employed in the local mesh refinement process, so that the solution of second order accuracy at newly generated nodes can be obtained only by the spatial interpolation but no temporal interpolation. Focusing on both steady and unsteady flow around a single cylinder and bi-cylinders, a number of test cases performed in this study have demonstrated the usefulness and effectiveness of the present AMR IB-LBM approach.

Numerical analysis of the flapping flight of insects has attracted great attention because of the expectation for insect-inspired micro air vehicles. A lot of numerical methods for the insect flight have been proposed, and they can be classified into two categories: inviscid flow solvers and viscous flow solvers. The discrete vortex method (DVM) has been regarded as a successful method in the first category, and the immersed boundary–lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) has recently been developed as an efficient method in the second category. However, a detailed comparative study between these methods has not been sufficiently performed. In this study, we compare the DVM with the IB-LBM in two-dimensional flapping flight analysis. As a result, it is found that the aerodynamic forces obtained by the DVM are comparable to those by the IB-LBM, when the effect of separated vortices is not so accumulated, and when the forward speed of the model is smaller than the flapping speed. In addition, the DVM has a difficulty in estimating the aerodynamic torque. In terms of the computational time, the DVM is much faster than the IB-LBM. This result suggests that the DVM can be used for massive parametric studies or optimizations in flapping flight analysis, although there remain many issues in its accuracy.
