The increasing interest in using flexible materials to design marine propellers, considering deformations due to flow loads. A numerical procedure for analysing two-way fluid-structure interactions, based on the commercial STAR-CCM+ multiphysics software, is described and applied to predict the hydroelastic response of the flexible marine propeller P1790 to hydrodynamic forces in open water conditions. The influence of the deformation on the performance of the flexible propeller was analysed by comparison with its rigid counterpart. The procedure has been validated by means of experiments performed in the cavitation tunnel K27 of the Technical University Berlin with both, the flexible and the rigid propeller. The predicted performance coefficients and the axial deformation of the blades agree well with measured values. This suggests the feasibility of using the passive bending and twisting behaviour of a flexible propeller to adapt the pressure distribution on the blade to improve the propeller performance over a range of advance ratios.

In order to improve the efficiency of heart valve simulation, we proposed a fast iso-geometric simulation approach for time-dependent heart valve simulation algorithm with the idea of Geometric-Independent Field approximation (GIFT for short). For the solution of the blood flow field problem in a heart valve, the fluid background mesh is first simplified, then a Bezier tetrahedral mesh is generated based on the simplified mesh to maintain geometric precision, and finally, the fluid velocity field and pressure are solved. In addition, the GIFT idea is used to represent the geometry of computational domain geometry and approximate the physical field solution with different basis function spaces to obtain the numerical solution with the same preci-sion as before simplification. In the structural mechanics simulation of valve leaflets, NURBS surfaces are used to represent the geometric model. To avoid degeneration on geometric boundary, a single leaflet geometric patch is subdivided into four patches. The immersion geometry strategy is adopted in solving the deformation problem of cardiac valve leaflets to achieve high simulation precision, and the dynamic augmented Lagrangian algorithm is used to couple fluid-structure control equations. For the time discretization, the generalized a method is used to control high-frequency dissipation. Numerical examples and comparisons with previous methods are also presented. The proposed algorithm can reduce the computing costs by about 54.3%, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents the mathematical modeling and numerical simulations of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. The fluid domain is discretized using a Cartesian block-structured mesh and solved using the Finite Volume Method (FVM), using the LES methodology with Smagorinsky turbulent closure model. The fluid flow in the system is considered compressible, with properties that vary. The Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) is used to model the solid-fluid interface, and the structure deformation was solved using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The Multi-direct Forcing Scheme is used to calculate the fluid-dynamics forces through the IBM. After calculating the fluid forces exerted on the solid, the forces are interpolated and transferred to the FEM model, providing the deformation of the structure at each time step. The structural domain was discretized with Hexahedral eight-noded element with extra shape functions. The simulations were carried out using MFSIm (in-house code), a multiphysics simulation framework developed by the fluid Mechanics Laboratory of the Federal University of Uberlandia with financial support from Petrobras. This paper demonstrates the practical application of FSI analysis in an industrial context, specifically focusing on a pipeline system within a fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) used in the oil and gas industry. The analysis involves the use of butterfly valves positioned at different angles of opening. The results are treated statistically, and a surface response is generated. Machine learning is employed to predict the surface response, showing the valve configurations that yield the maximum and minimum displacement magnitudes of the evaluated structural probes.

We study a free-boundary fluid-structure interaction problem with growth, which arises from the plaque formation in blood vessels. The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, while the structure is considered as a viscoelastic incompressible neo-Hookean material. Moreover, the growth due to the biochemical process is taken into account. Applying the maximal regularity theory to a linearization of the equations, along with a deformation mapping, we prove the well-posedness of the full nonlinear problem via the contraction mapping principle.

The fluid-structure interaction (FSI) issue is a complex and nonlinear process involving the interaction between a deformed structure and the surrounding fluid. In this work, we developed a novel high-fidelity, modular, open-source and user-friendly FSI simulation framework by coupling the well-established fluid solver OpenFOAM (R) with the structure solver CalculiX. The fluid solver solves unsteady RANS equations using a finite volume method on unstructured meshes. The hydrodynamic loads on the surfaces of the object are then passed to structural solver. The displacements and structural response of the object are efficiently computed and exchanged with the fluid solver through a finite element analysis. The coupling was implemented through the preCICE coupling library for partitioned multi-physics simulations, which treats the two dedicated solvers as 'black boxes' and provides data mapping between non-matching meshes. Two classical FSI test cases are presented, and the numerical results are compared with previously published laboratory tests and benchmark data, achieving a satisfactory agreement. This work provides an efficient tool under the open-source framework for fluid-structure interaction simulation.

In this paper, modal effective mass for asymmetric fluid-structure interaction system is defined and equations for its calculation is derived. To establish consistency, modal effective mass in symmetric structure only system is briefly reviewed, followed by a definition of the modal effective mass in asymmetric system. The equations for calculating modal effective mass in asymmetric system are derived by utilizing the properties of left and right eigenvectors. To simplify the equations, the assumption is made that the mass matrix is only affected by the fluid. The simplified equation is then compared to the equation already used in ANSYS. Finally, the validity of the modal effective mass definition and derivation in this paper is demonstrated through a simple example.

The flapping flag is a classical and important fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem with many applications in nature, industry, and biological systems. However, the interaction between the flow field and the flag response is not fully understood due to the complex and nonlinear nature of the problem. Although theoretical models qualitatively predict the flapping frequency and the onset velocity, there are still quantitative discrepancies between the theoretical predictions and the experimental data. In this study, numerical FSI simulations of a standard flag in a viscous uniform laminar flow are performed to characterize the flow field around the flapping flag and correlate the flow field with the flag response for six Reynolds numbers (Re = 4.5 x104, Re = 5.3 x104, Re = 5.7 x104, Re = 5.9 x104, Re = 6.6 x104, and Re = 7.5 x104). Two-way coupled FSI simulations are conducted using commercial software ANSYS (R). Rigorous solution verification is conducted first on three Re to ensure that solutions are independent of mesh and time-step refinement. Then validation is achieved by comparing the simulation predictions with experimental data. Overall, results showed a good agreement with an error range between 0.7%-4.7% for oscillation amplitude (Am), 1.3%-6.41% for drag coefficient (Cd), and 1.3%-5.3% for frequency (f ). Moreover, a comparison between inviscid and viscous models is performed to evaluate the accuracy of using inviscid theoretical models for the same flow. It is observed that the inviscid model accurately predicted f but underpredicted Am and Cd, and overpredicted lift coefficient Cl. In the case of the viscous model, it is observed that a flow separation bubble and a thin flow circulation region exist on the suction side of the flag during the limit cycle oscillation (LCO). Finally, an instantaneous negative drag is observed for a short time during the LCO, suggesting that flag reconfiguration and flow separation significantly affects the drag. These

This paper presents a numerical study based on fluid-structure interaction (FSI) to analyze the impact of elasticity on the resistance of the rotor blade in terms of maximum stress. Simulations, conducted using Ansys Workbench software, implement a strong coupling between fluid dynamics and transient structure. The obtained results allow us to explore the combined influence of elasticity and flow parameters on blade resistance. As a result, we present the variation of maximum stress for different inflow velocities and different rotation frequencies for rigid and flexible cases. Our findings highlight the significant effect of flexibility in reducing structural stresses, emphasizing the marked influence of rotation frequency on the evolution of these stresses compared to the rigid case.
