This article introduces a numerical scheme on the basis of semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations (SIMPLE) algorithm to simulate incompressible unsteady flows with fluid-structure interaction. The Navier-Stokes equation is discretized spatially with collocated finite volume method and Eulerian implicit method in time domain. The hybrid method that combines immersed boundary method (IBM) and volume of fluid (VOF) method is used to deal with rigid body motion in fluid domain. The details of movement of immersed boundary (IB) and calculation of VOF are also described. This method can be easily applied to any existing finite-volume-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver without complex operation, with which fluid flow interaction of arbitrarily complex geometry can be realized on a fixed mesh. The method is verified by low Reynolds number flows passing both stationary and oscillating cylinders. The drag and lift coefficients acquired by the study well accord with other published results, which indicate the reasonability of the proposed method.

Underwater implosion is the rapid and catastrophic collapse of a pressure vessel subjected to external pressure, resulting in a very short but high-pressure pulse in the surrounding water that can potentially damage adjacent structures or personnel. Any system with an internal pressure below external pressure is susceptible to implosion. The pressure pulse from a single implosion has been known to trigger subsequent sympathetic implosions. This work investigates methods of reducing the implosion pulse severity for unstiffened metallic cylindrical pressure vessels. The implosion pulse energy is proportional to the maximum system kinetic energy developed during collapse. It can be reduced by (1) increasing the plastic energy dissipated by the collapsing structure, or (2) increasing the energy required to compress the internal gas. Plastic energy dissipation is increased by triggering higher buckling modes through introduction of geometric imperfections. Numerical simulations show that this technique can reduce implosion pulse energy for a sample cylinder by up to 33%, while reducing the buckling strength of the cylinder by only 0.5%. The energy required for gas compression can be increased by initially pressurizing the interior of the implodable. The benefit from this technique is bounded by other limitations on internal pressure, such as equipment and human survivability. A slight increase in gas compression energy is also realized by substituting a noble gas for air. These techniques can be applied, singly or in combination, to any implodable design to significantly reduce the pulse severity and minimize the risk of sympathetic implosions.

Aiming at vortex-induced vibration problem, immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) is adopted in the paper. In order to establish a baseline for comparison and verify the precision of the algorithm, a uniform flow past a rigid cylinder at Re=200 is simulated first and the numerical results are compared with the results of other documents. The motion of the elastic-supported cylinder is modelled by a spring-damper-mass system and the motion equation is solved using the Runge-Kutta method. The cylinder is only allowed to vibrate in transverse direction and the Reynolds number is kept at 200. Besides, the lift and drag coefficients of the cylinder, the displacement of the cylinder and the vortex pattern in the wake are extracted at different natural frequencies, and on this basis the dynamic response characteristic of the cylinder is studied. As the natural frequency reduces, the time history of fluctuating hydrodynamic coefficients characterized by `beating' is presented, and the phase between lift force and the crossflow displacement undergoes a change from the `in-phase' mode to the `out-of-phase' mode. The results further show that the cylinder oscillations could be as large as 0.53 diameter under certain natural frequency.

Current research on the operational reliability of centrifugal pumps has mainly focused on hydrodynamic instability. However, the interaction between the fluid and structure has not been sufficiently considered; this interaction can cause vibration and dynamic stress, which can affect the reliability. In this study, the dynamic stresses in a single-blade centrifugal pump impeller are analysed under different operating conditions; the two-way coupling method is used to calculate the fluid-structure interaction. Three-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the SST k-o9 turbulence model for the fluid in the whole flow passage, while transient structure dynamic analysis is used with the finite element method for the structure side. The dynamic stresses in the rotor system are computed according to the fourth strength theory. The stress results show that the highest stress is near the loose bearing and that the equivalent stress increases with the flow rate because the dynamic stresses are closely related to the pressure load. The stress distributions on the blade pressure side, suction side, leading edge, and trailing edge are each analysed for different flow rates; the highest stress distribution is found on the pressure side. On the blade pressure side, a relatively large stress is found near the trailing edge and hub side. Based on these results, a stress distribution prediction method is proposed for centrifugal pumps, which considers the interaction between the fluid and structuxe. The method can be used to check the dynamic stress at different flow rates when optimising the pump design to increase the pump reliability.

Left pulmonary artery sling (LPAS) is a kind of severe congenital anomaly, where the stenoses usually occur at trachea and main bronchi for the external compression of the artery sling. Computed tomography (CT) images can provide accurate morphological analysis, but the airflow and its effects on the airway wall are unknown and seldom investigated. In the present study, a uni-directional coupling fluid-structure interaction (UCFSI) method is employed to simulate the deformation and stress of tracheal and main bronchial wall for four LPAS subjects and one health control. Much higher airflow velocity is observed for LPAS subjects due to the stenosis, and the deformation and equivalent stress of airway wall are about 50-900 and 901000 times of the health control, respectively. The direction of tracheal shift may be related to the airway shape, and is opposite to the net reaction force. The influences of inlet flow velocity and wall thickness on the deformation and stress are significant and their relationship is nonlinear. These results suggest that the UCFSI simulation is helpful for the quantitative analysis on the deformation and stress of the airway wall and better understanding of LPAS mechanism.

Recently there has been increasing interest in the fluidstructureinteraction problem of planing hull bottom structure during slamming events. Significant work has been done in estimating the bottom pressures that occur during a slam and incorporating this into structural models of planing craft. In this article, empirical equations for the pressure distribution on prismatic planing hulls are developed, including both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects, deadrise variation, trim, and wetted length. The empirical method is based on relevant experimental measurements of planing hull bottom pressures that have been made over an 80-year period. This analysis may readily be extended to the impact problem by substitution of an equivalent planing velocity, which is discussed in the article. The end result is a closed form solution for bottom pressures on prismatic planing craft that can be rapidly calculated using a simple spreadsheet. The method is applicable for deadrise angles from 0 degrees to 40 degrees, trim angles up to 30 degrees, and wetted lengths up to five beams. This wide range of parameters is significantly larger than most current models. The empirical method is modular, allowing for substitution of more accurate formulae as more data become available in the future.

We present a systematic comparison of computational hemodynamics in arteries between a one-dimensional (1-D) and a three-dimensional (3-D) formulation with deformable vessel walls. The simulations were performed using a series of idealized compliant arterial models representing the common carotid artery, thoracic aorta, aortic bifurcation, and full aorta from the arch to the iliac bifurcation. The formulations share identical inflow and outflow boundary conditions and have compatible material laws. We also present an iterative algorithm to select the parameters for the outflow boundary conditions by using the 1-D theory to achieve a desired systolic and diastolic pressure at a particular vessel. This 1-D/3-D framework can be used to efficiently determine material and boundary condition parameters for 3-D subject-specific arterial models with deformable vessel walls. Finally, we explore the impact of different anatomical features and hemodynamic conditions on the numerical predictions. The results show good agreement between the two formulations, especially during the diastolic phase of the cycle.
