Abstract

We take a closer look at the behaviour of immersed boundaries close to the immersed boundary. Two kinds of errors usually occur. They are interpolation errors and the error which occurs because we do not exactly satisfy zero penetration velocity near the immersed wall. We try to assess the relative importance of both for the case where the immersed wall coincides with a grid boundary.
