A characterization of the forcing and sub-filter scale terms within the volume-filtering immersed boundary method.

We investigate the role of inertial particles within a semi-dilute particle-laden turbulent channel flow at $\mathrm{Re}_\tau = 180$ and show significant drag reduction or increase. The increase of decrease in drag is dependent on particle inertia while the magnitude of change in drag is dependent on the mass loading.

A novel approach to the immersed boundaries method based on volume filtering in order to properly formalize the forcing term at the interface and as a consequence obtaining higher accuracy of values computed at the interface.
