In this work, the combined multi-direct forcing and immersed boundary method (IBM) were presented to simulate uid-structure interaction problems. The multi-direct forcing is used aim at satisfying the no-slip condition in the immersed boundary. For the numerical simulations was used a multi-purpose computer code that is being developed in the MFlab - Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of Federal University of Uberl^andia. Tests are made to validate the numerical schemes and routines were implemented to simulate uid-structures interaction problems. Furthermore, computational tools are developed to construct and manage and optimize the use of a Beowulf cluster where all the parallel simulations presented in this work were done. The Method of Manufactured Solutions has been used for order-of-accuracy verication in the computational uid dynamics code. Two uid-structure interaction problems were studied using this methodology. The rst is a ow over a sphere for some Reynolds numbers. The results were compared to empirical results, obtaining satisfactory approximations. The second one is a immersed simple pendulum. For this problem the results are in agreement with physics. Indeed, these are preliminar results. New tests must be done to make progress in the methodology. Improvements are proposed in the IBM, in the uid-structure model, in the turbulence model, in the method used to discretize the uid domain. It is also proposed to apply the methodology to real problems as risers and valves.
