  • Beschreibung: <jats:p> We present an immersogeometric analysis (IMGA) approach for the simulation of compressible flows around complex geometries. In this method, compressible flow simulations are performed directly on various boundary representations (B-reps) of mechanical designs, circumventing the labor-intensive and time-consuming cleanup of complex geometric models. A new formulation for the weak imposition of essential boundary conditions in the context of non-body-fitted meshes is proposed. The formulation employs the non-symmetric Nitsche method, which yields good performance especially when the penalty parameters are difficult to estimate. We test the proposed immersogeometric formulation on benchmark problems for a wide range of Reynolds and Mach numbers, showing its robustness and accuracy. Finally, the methodology is applied to the simulation of a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter in forward flight, illustrating the ability of the proposed approach to support the design of real-world engineering systems through high-fidelity aerodynamic analysis. </jats:p>
