Direct-forcing immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann simulation of particle/fluid interactions for spherical and non-spherical particles

- Particle flows were simulated using an immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM).
- Excellent results were obtained for simulating different 2D and 3D particle flows.
- A version of IB-LBM has been developed for non-spherical particles.
- Added mass and corrected radius impact the accuracy of the results and should be included.
- Forcing scheme has a noticeable effect when considering several particles.
