The modified ghost fluid method (MGFM) developed by Liu et al. (J. Comput. Phys. 2003;190:651-681) provides us a robust method to treat moving compressible gas-gas and gas-liquid interfaces. Recently, the MGFM was extended to treat compressible fluid-compressible structure interfaces, where the structure was assumed to be very thick or infinitely thick (Comput. Mech. 2007;40:667-681). In this work, the MGFM is applied to investigate the complex physics that occur during an underwater explosion inside a fluid-filled cylinder. Owing to the refraction of strong rarefaction waves at the fluid-structure interface and inside the thin cylinder wall, cavitation occurs next to the cylinder wall in the fluid;simultaneously, solid tension waves may appear next to the fluid-structure interface inside the structure. Both phenomena tend to cause the implicit double-shock approximate Riemann problem solver (the key component used to predict the fluid-structure interface status in the MGFM) to work less effectively in regions of low pressure and to be invalid when tension waves appear in the vicinity of the fluid-structure interface. To overcome these mentioned difficulties, the MGFM will be further developed in this work. Owing to the high initial pressure, short duration and high intensity of the shock load and cavitation reload, the compressibility of the structure becomes important, and the cylinder can be modeled as a compressible fluid-like medium. The hydro-elasto-plastic equation of state is, thus, used to describe the constitutive behavior of the compressible solid cylinder. A systematic study of the cavitation reload is conducted to examine the influence of the wall material, wall thickness, explosion distance, and explosion strength on the fluid and structural responses.

We discuss in this paper the numerical approximation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems dealing with strong added-mass effect. We propose new semi-implicit algorithms based on inexact block-LU factorization of the linear system obtained after the space-time discretization and linearization of the FSI problem. As a result, the fluid velocity is computed separately from the coupled pressure-structure velocity system at each iteration, reducing the computational cost. We investigate explicit-implicit decomposition through algebraic splitting techniques originally designed for the FSI problem. This approach leads to two different families of methods which extend to FSI the algebraic pressure correction method and the Yosida method, two schemes that were previously adopted for pure fluid problems. Furthermore, we have considered the inexact factorization of the fluid-structure system as a preconditioner. The numerical properties of these methods have been tested on a model problem representing a blood-vessel system.

The present paper is concerned with the dynamic analysis of a tube bundle with fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modelling. Modelling of FSI is performed with a homogenisation approach which is compared with the classical coupled approach;this latter is based on a direct finite element discretisation of the coupled problem with all tubes modelling, while the former lies on a description of the fluid-tubes system through an equivalent continuous medium, characterised by a set of dynamic equations which describe the behaviour of the tubes and the fluid from a global point of view. Theoretical background of the method is recalled, numerical implementation in a finite element code is exposed and comparison of the "homogenisation" and "coupled" method is proposed in the case of a 10 x 10 tube bundle, in 2D and 3D configurations. Calculation of eigenmode shapes, frequencies and effective masses with the two methods is performed, as well as the dynamic response of the coupled system subjected to seismic loading. It is concluded that: (i) the computational time are significantly lowered when using the homogenisation method instead of the coupled method, since the problem size is reduced by 90%;(ii) the tube bundle dynamic is described in a space-averaged manner, which is sufficient to account for the main inertial coupling effects: no significant discrepancies are reported in the modal and dynamic analysis, when performed with the homogenisation and the coupled approaches, which makes the proposed method of practical interest for future engineering applications.

The entry and exit of flexible bodies through an air-water interface is studied using a tightly coupled fluid-structure interaction solver. The fluid domain is modeled using finite-volume CFD and the flexible structure is represented by a modal basis. The current work uses finite elements to generate the structural mode shapes and frequencies. The modal description allows for a reduction in structural degrees of freedom to reduce computation time. A linearized boundary condition is used on the mutual interface to eliminate mesh deformation. The accuracy of the method is quantified using the constant-velocity-wedge-impact problem. The quality of the fluid solution for the entry and exit problem is evaluated using a rigid wedge case and comparison to Von Karman and Wagner theories. Finally, the response of an elastic wedge during entry and exit is studied with the fluid-structure interaction solver. The results are used to assess two common approximations, namely the rigid-quasi-static and rigid-dynamic approximations. It is shown that for entry and exit, hydroelastic effects may be important for a wide range of loading conditions. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this work we focus on the modeling and numerical simulation of the fluid-structure interaction mechanism in vascular dynamics. We first propose a simple membrane model to describe the deformation of the arterial wall, which is derived from the Koiter shell equations and is applicable to an arbitrary geometry. Secondly, we consider a reformulation of the fluid-structure problem, in which the newly derived membrane model, thanks to its simplicity, is embedded into the fluid equations and will appear as a generalized Robin boundary condition. The original problem is then reduced to the solution of subsequent fluid equations defined on a moving domain and may be achieved with a fluid solver only. We also derive a stability estimate for the resulting numerical scheme. Finally, we propose new out flow absorbing boundary conditions, which are easy to implement and allow us to reduce significantly the spurious pressure wave reflections that typically appear in artificially truncated computational domains. We present several numerical results showing the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

We compare the relative performance of monolithic and segregated (partitioned) solvers for large- displacement fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems within the framework of OOMPH-LIB, the object-oriented multi-physics finite-element library, available as open-source software at http://***. Monolithic solvers are widely acknowledged to be more robust than their segregated counterparts, but are believed to be too expensive for use in large-scale problems. We demonstrate that monolithic solvers are competitive even for problems in which the fluid-solid coupling is weak and, hence, the segregated solvers converge within a moderate number of iterations. The efficient monolithic solution of large-scale FSI problems requires the development of preconditioners for the iterative solution of the linear systems that arise during the solution of the monolithically coupled fluid and solid equations by Newton's method. We demonstrate that recent improvements to OOMPH-LIB's FSI preconditioner result in mesh-independent convergence rates under uniform and non-uniform (adaptive) mesh refinement, and explore its performance in a number of two- and three-dimensional test problems involving the interaction of finite-Reynolds-number flows with shell and beam structures, as well as finite-thickness solids.

This paper studies the fluid-structure interaction of an elastically mounted square cross-section cylinder immersed in a free stream. The cross-section is mounted such that its sides are at 45 to the free stream direction, in a "diamond" configuration, and its motion is constrained to the transverse direction relative to the flow direction. Apart from the cross-section, this setup is the same as the majority of single-degree-of-freedom vortex-induced vibration studies of cylinders. Two-dimensional direct numerical simulations of this system have been performed. The Reynolds number based on the point-to-point distance of the cross-section has been fixed at Re=200). Simulations at this Reynolds number allow a direct comparison with previous results from circular cylinders, and therefore focus directly on the impact of the geometry. The sensitivity of the flow, and therefore the motion of the cylinder, to geometrical effects is considered. This is done by rounding the two side corners (those pointing across the flow) at a given radius. For well-rounded corners, the flow behaviour resembles that of a circular cylinder undergoing vortex-induced vibration. However, below a critical radius, the dynamics are considerably altered. Highly disordered and irregular wakes and body motions are observed, as well as a synchronized, periodic P+S wake mode (Williamson and Roshko, 1988), which consists of a pair of vortices on one side, and a single vortex on the other side, shed per oscillation cycle, which results in a non-zero mean lift force. A period-doubled version of this P+S wake is also presented. The spatial structure, and the spatio-temporal symmetries of each of these modes is reported. The results show that even though the spatio-temporal symmetry of the flow is unaffected by the geometry when the body is rigidly mounted (the flow always saturating to a Karman vortex street) geometric features such as sharp corners can induce a number of spontaneous symmetry breaking bifu

详细信息
We present a fully-coupled monolithic formulation of the fluid-structure interaction of an incompressible fluid on a moving domain with a nonlinear hyperelastic solid. The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian description is utilized for the fluid subdomain and the Lagrangian description is utilized for the solid subdomain. Particular attention is paid to the derivation of various forms of the conservation equations;the conservation properties of the semi-discrete and fully discretized systems;a unified presentation of the generalized-alpha time integration method for fluid-structure interaction;and the derivation of the tangent matrix, including the calculation of shape derivatives. A NURBS-based isogeometric analysis methodology is used for the spatial discretization and three numerical examples are presented which demonstrate the good behavior of the methodology.

In this work, we deal with the 1D compressible fluid coupled with elastic solid in an Eulerian-Lagrangian system. To facilitate the analysis, the Naviers equation for elastic solid is cast into a 2x2 system similar to the Euler equation but in Lagrangian coordinate. The modified Ghost fluid Method is employed to treat the fluid-elastic solid coupling, where an Eulerian-Lagrangian Riemann problem is defined and a nonlinear characteristic from the fluid and a Riemann invariant from the solid are used to predict and define the ghost fluid states. Theoretical analysis shows that the present approach is accurate in the sense of approximating the solution of the Riemann problem at the interface. Numerical validation of this approach is also accomplished by extensive comparison to 1D problems (both water-solid and gas-solid) with their respective analytical solutions.
