The immersed boundary (IB) method is a technique to enforce boundary conditions on surfaces not aligned with the mesh in a numerical simulation. This method has been used as a practical approach to model ow problems involving very complex geometries or moving bodies. Our objective is to assess the accuracy and e ciency of the IB method in simulations of turbulent ows, where the ow dynamics in the near-wall region is fundamental to correctly predict the overall ow. The rst part of this work focuses on the development of a simulation tool based on the IB method that can correctly predict the wall temperature and pressure uctuations in turbulent ows. In the second part, we illustrate the application of the method to a multi-material heat transfer problem where convective heat transfer of the uid and conductive heat transfer of the solid are handled simultaneously. This work achieves su cient accuracy at the immersed boundary and overcomes de ciencies in previous IB methods by augmenting the formulation with additional constraints − a compatibility constraint relating the interpolated velocity boundary condition with mass conservation and a decoupling constraint for the pressure. We derived an IB method with a revised boundary interpolation and a strictly mass conserving scheme, which does not show pressure oscillations near the immersed boundary. Although accurate, the complexity of this method prompted the development of another variant − the immersed boundaryapproximated domain method (IB-ADM). This approach satis es the pressure decoupling constraint with an inexpensive computational overhead. The IB-ADM correctly predicts the near-wall velocity, pressure and scalar elds in several example problems. The IB-ADM is shown to successfully predict the ow around a very thin solid object for which incorrect results were obtained with previous IB methods. The IB-ADM has been successfully validated through computation of the wall-pressure space-time correlation in DNS of a turbulent channel ow. When applied to a turbulent ow around an airfoil, the computed ow statistics − the mean/RMS ow eld and power spectra of the wall pressure − are in good
