The original computational domain is modeled as an Eulerian one for the fluid with a Lagrangian subdomain embedded in it. The boundary conditions are enforced implicitly on solid-fluid surface segments by a mirror relation. Thus the fluid flow is solved in the whole domain, in which the solid particle region is replaced with the virtual flow as the mirror image of outside flow. The mirror fluid method is implemented to compute the motion of a rigid sphere in a Newtonian fluid as a typical example for validation. The control volume formulation with the SIMPLEC algorithm incorporated is used to solve the governing equations on a staggered grid in a two spatial dimensions. A number of numerical experiments of a falling particle are performed and the computational results are in good agreement with the reported experimental data.
