Huge water storage tank on the top of many buildings may affect the safety of the structure caused by fluid-structure interaction (FSI) under the earthquake. AP1000 passive containment cooling system water storage tank (PCCWST) placed at the top of shield building is a key component to ensure the safety of nuclear facilities. Under seismic loading, water will impact the wall of PCCWST, which may pose a threat to the integrity of the shield building. In the present study, an FE model of AP1000 shield building is built for the modal and transient seismic analysis considering the FSI. Six different water levels in PCCWST were discussed by comparing the modal frequency, seismic acceleration response, and von Mises stress distribution. The results show the maximum von Mises stress emerges at the joint of shield building roof and water around the air inlet. However, the maximum von Mises stress is below the yield strength of reinforced concrete. The results may provide a reference for design of the AP1000 and CAP1400 in the future.

The gravity damper is safety device used for the air treatment that prevent overpressure inside the unit through the opening. It is a normally closed valve under the effect of the gravity force, which, under the action of the incident air flow, allows to manage any excess mass. Clearly, although the device is rather simple and therefore reliable, the operating conditions may prove burdensome, especially if the gravity dampers are applied to installations of energy transformation, such as the gas turbines; this is mainly due to the need to develop large masses of air at speeds rather incurred. This article describes an experiment carried out on a gravity damper designed to be installed in a gas turbine. The characterization has been performed in numerical (CFD-FEM), considering both the mode shapes and the natural frequencies of the device in working condition as well as any phenomenon of detachment of the fluid that can trigger vortex shedding and subsequently validated in the wind tunnel facilities of the University of Perugia. In particular, what is wanted to be highlighted is the fact that, after a preliminary analysis, it has been clearly evident that, under the operating conditions, the structure would be affected by phenomena of vortex shedding. The shedding frequency is next to some natural frequencies of the structure, with obvious repercussions on the integrity of the structure. An experimental vibration analysis performed in the wind tunnel at flow regime has in fact allowed to identify the phenomenon of lock-in.

The sweep-back effect of a flexible flapping wing is investigated through fluid-structure interaction analysis. The aeroelastic analysis is carried out by using an efficient fluid-structure interaction analysis tool, which is based on the modified strip theory and the flexible multibody dynamics. To investigate the sweep-back effect, the aeroelastic analysis is performed on various sweep-back wing models defined by sweep-chord ratio and sweep-span ratio, and then the sweep-back effect on the aerodynamic performance is discussed. The aeroelastic results of the sweep-back wing analysis clearly confirm that the sweep-back angle can help a flexible flapping wing to generate greater twisting motion, resulting in the aerodynamic improvement of thrust and input power for all flapping-axis angle regimes. The propulsive efficiency can also be increased by the sweep-back effect. The sweep angle of a flapping wing should be considered as an important design feature for artificial flexible flapping wings.

This paper demonstrates the implementation of the algorithm to solve a fluid-structure interaction problem on parallel and distributed computers. The paper presents a partitioned approach where the fluid and the structure are solved separately. The structures considered in the paper are membranes and they may undergo large displacements therefore a parallel mesh modification strategy is also presented. The paper also describes the special aspects of the implementation of the fluid-structure interaction program which relates to parallel and distributed computing.

Particle-fluid and fluid-structure interactions are important areas in particle technology. Typical processes where such interactions are prevalent include fluidized beds, filtration and sedimentation. In addition, fluid-structure interactions are significant in applications such as nuclear waste management, for example in the cementation process used to store radioactive materials, as well as in carbon capture and storage applications where the leakage of gas injected in underground geological reservoirs must be considered in hazard and risk assessments. Given the difficulties in directly measuring the propagation of cracks in solid structures, their permeability or the internal build-up of any gases, for example, numerical techniques in conjunction with non-destructive measurements are important tools of value in assessing and predicting the behavior of fluid-structure interactions. In this work, coupling between the lattice Boltzmann method and a digital packing algorithm based on the discrete element method is used to provide a basis for predicting such coupled interactions. The development of the coupled algorithm is described, with the calculations performed on a regular lattice grid and based on the momentum exchange method to evaluate the force exerted by the fluid on a solid boundary. A number of test cases are reported to allow assessment of the coupled model's capabilities. Overall, these test cases demonstrate reasonable quantitative agreement with available analytical and experimental results for the case of a sphere settling in a liquid, and the expected qualitative behavior for the case of different orientation cylinders settling in a fluid, and for three dynamic packing processes.

Finite element modeling of buried liquid-conveying pipeline for the calculation of fluidstructureinteraction is the key to analyze the damage of long distance buried liquid-conveying pipeline. Because the influence of site, fault movement, and earthquake, etc. it is necessary to calculate fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in finite element analysis under pipe-soil interaction. Finite element model of buried liquid-conveying pipeline for the calculation of fluidstructureinteraction is constructed through combination of ADINA-parasolid and ADINA-native modeling methods, and the direct computing method of two-way fluid-structure coupling is introduced. Pipe-soil friction is defined in solid model, special flow assumption and fluidstructure interface condition are defined in fluid model. Damage of buried liquid-conveying pipeline is investigated through computing of fluid-structure coupling. Results are analyzed, and some advice is proposed.

We explore experimentally the motion of deformable objects – bubbles and capsules – through narrow localised constrictions, with widths between 16 and 32% of the diameter of the object. Under constant volume-flux flow, both bubbles and capsules extend to a maximum length as their front passes through the constriction. Rapid contraction occurs as their rear accelerates towards the constriction, followed by relaxation upon exiting the constriction. We find that the large deformations imposed by narrowing constrictions and increasing flow rates highlight distinguishing features between bubbles and capsules, which reflect their distinct mechanics. These include tip-streaming of the rear of the bubble, buckling of the capsule upon contraction and wrinkling of the capsule membrane through excessive compressive strains. Finally, we present evidence of distinct modes of rupture for bubbles and capsule as the flow rate is further increased.

Coupled analysis of explosion-driven fracture is a challenging task due to complicated fluid-structure interactions (FSI) and local large deformations. In this paper, a coupled Finite Element Method-Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (FEM-SPH) method was proposed to simulate the fracture of cylindrical shell subjected to internal explosion. The cylindrical shell was modeled by FEM and the movement of detonation products was modeled by SPH, where they were coupled by penalty contact algorithm. A rate-dependent failure criterion for steels at high strain rate conditions was employed in the simulation, which was presented and verified in our previous work. Results showed the interaction between blast wave and cylindrical shell, the dynamic crack propagation and the finial fracture morphology of cylindrical shell. The decoupled analysis was also conducted to make a comparison. It is found the coupled FEM-SPH method can well handle the complicated FSI problem which including local large deformations and ruptures. Compared with decoupled analysis, the fracture of coupled FEM-SPH analysis shows a better agreement with experimental results. In addition, though the over-predicted explosive loads in decoupled analysis cause a severer bulging deformation of cylindrical shell, but the finial fracture is smaller than that of coupled FEM-SPH analysis.

Biosensing and microfluidic applications of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, involving micro-transport, rely on acoustic streaming resulting from high intensity sound waves interacting with the fluid medium. In this work, we investigate the enhancement in the efficiency of acoustic streaming via the use of interdigital transducer (IDT) modifications, viz. focused IDTs (F-IDTs). We have developed, for the first time, a three dimensional bi-directionally coupled fluid-structure interaction finite element model of a focused SAW (F-SAW) device with F-IDTs based on concentric wave surfaces and subject to liquid loading. The simulated device displacement profiles indicate focusing and enhancement of surface displacement amplitudes, instantaneous fluid velocities, and streaming velocities in a F-SAW device compared to a conventional SAW device having uniform IDTs with a similar size, finger periodicity and applied input voltage. Furthermore, the F-SAW device brings about focusing of acoustic energy near the center of the device, thereby enhancing the device displacements and fluid velocities in the center of the delay path in contrast to the conventional SAW in which these quantities decay on moving away from input IDTs towards the device center. Thus, our results indicate enhancement in acoustic streaming induced flow in F-SAW devices compared to conventional SAW. The results have a general applicability for various biosensing and microfluidic actuation applications that rely on the acoustic streaming phenomenon.

An improved momentum-exchanged immersed boundary-based lattice Boltzmann method (MEIB-LBM) for incompressible viscous thermal flows is presented here. MEIB-LBM was first proposed by Niu et al, which has been shown later that the non-slip boundary condition is not satisfied. Wang. et al. and Hu. et al overcome this drawback by iterative method. But it needs to give an appropriate relaxation parameter. In this work, we come back to the intrinsic feature of LBM, which uses the density distribution function as a dependent variable to evolve the flow field, and uses the density distribution function correction at the neighboring Euler mesh points to satisfy the non-slip boundary condition on the immersed boundary. The same idea can also be applied to the thermal flows with fluid-structure interference. The merits of present improvements for the original MEIB-LBM are that the intrinsic feature of LBM is kept and the flow penetration across the immersed boundaries is avoided. To validate the present method, examples, including forced convection over a stationary heated circular cylinder for heat flux condition, and natural convection with a suspended circle particle in viscous fluid, are simulated. The streamlines, isothermal contours, the drag coefficients and Nusselt numbers are calculated and compared to the benchmark results to demonstrate the effective of the present method.
