Abstract
A CFD simulation solver that uses a Meshfree method and eliminates complicated grid generation processes was developed. This method uses a moving least squares interpolation in order to improve the analysis accuracy of the virtual boundary method. The simulation results show good agreement with results from wind tunnel experiments. Furthermore, we were able to apply this method to the numerical simulation of flow around a structure which was moving or deforming. We believe that this method is effective and has a great future in Fluid-Structure Interaction.
