Implicit interpolation method for immersed boundary methods

Immersed boundary (IB) methods have been successfully implemented for different applications. This paper focuses on the immersed boundary implementation for two different governing equations, namely the diffusion equation and Euler equations, using a bi-linear interpolation for the implementation of the boundary condition. The concept of implicit interpolation is introduced which eradicates the problems faced with the explicit interpolation in which it is required to move away from the boundary in the fluid domain in order to complete the interpolation stencil.
