The authors present a new method to determine wind loading on transmission line conductors based on fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis. FSI results yield a more accurate representation of pressure loads acting on moving conductors than provided by the pseudo-static pressure calculation based on Bernoulli's equation, which is the current approach used in design. The results based on the proposed method are compared to those obtained using the Bernoulli load model using four natural wind records to perform a nonlinear dynamic analysis of a three-span transmission line section. The quasi-static approach significantly overestimates the conductor motion and the cable tensions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper the vibration behavior of a flexible cylinder subjected to an axial flow is investigated numerically. Therefore a methodology is constructed, which relies entirely on fluid-structure interaction calculations. Consequently, no force coefficients are necessary for the numerical simulations. Two different cases are studied. The first case is a brass cylinder vibrating in an axial water flow. This calculation is compared to experiments in literature and the results agree well. The second case is a hollow steel tube, subjected to liquid lead-bismuth flow. Different flow boundary conditions are tested on this case. Each type of boundary conditions leads to a different confinement and results in different eigenfrequencies and modal damping ratios. Wherever appropriate, a comparison has been made with an existing theory. Generally, this linear theory and the simulations in this paper agree well on the frequency of a mode. With respect to damping, the agreement is highly dependent on the correlation used for the normal friction coefficients in the linear theory. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In recent years, vulnerability against high-velocity impact loads has become an increasingly critical issue in the design of composite aerospace structures. The effects of Hydrodynamic Ram (HRAM), a phenomenon that occurs when a high-energy object penetrates a fluid-filled container, are of particular concern in the design of wing fuel tanks for aircraft because it has been identified as one of the important factors in aircraft vulnerability. The projectile transfers its momentum and kinetic energy through the fluid to the surrounding structure, increasing the risk of catastrophic failure. In the present paper, the commercial finite-element code ABAQUS/Explicit has been used to simulate an HRAM event due to the impact of a steel spherical projectile into a water-filled woven CFRP square tube. In order to simulate the fluid-structure interaction, the Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian (CEL) approach is used. Experimental tests which indicate the pressure at different points of the fluid, strains of the walls and cavity evolution for different impact velocities are compared with the numerical results in order to assess the validity and accuracy of CEL technique in reproducing such a complex phenomenon. Also, several numerical impacts at different initial projectile velocities are performed to study its influence in the HRAM phenomenon. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The hybrid Cartesian/immersed boundary method is applied to fluid-structure interaction of a moving flexible foil. A new algorithm is suggested to classify immersed boundary nodes based oil edges crossing a boundary. Velocity vectors are reconstructed at the immersed boundary nodes by using the interpolation along a local normal line to the boundary. For eliminating pressure reconstruction, the hybrid staggered/non-staggered grid method is adapted. The deformation of an elastic body is modeled based on dynamic thin-plate theory, TO validate the developed code first, free rotation of a foil in a channel flow is simulated and the computed angular motion is compared with other computational results. The code is then applied to the fluid-structure interaction of a moving flexible foil which undergoes large deformation due to the fluid loading Caused by horizontal sinusoidal motion. It has been shown that the moving flexible foil call generate much larger vertical force than the corresponding rigid foil and the vertical force call be attributed to the downward fluid jet due to the alternating tail deflection.

A numerical technique for fluid-structure interaction, which is based on the finite element method (FEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), was developed for application to an industrial chimney equipped with a pendulum tuned mass damper (TMD). In order to solve the structural problem, a one-dimensional beam model (Navier-Bernoulli) was considered and, for the dynamical problem, the standard second-order Newmark method was used. Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow are solved in several horizontal planes to determine the pressure in the boundary of the corresponding cross-section of the chimney. Forces per unit length were obtained by integrating the pressure and are introduced in the structure using standard FEM interpolation techniques. For the fluid problem, a fractional step scheme based on a second order pressure splitting has been used. In each fluid plane, the displacements have been taken into account considering an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian approach. The stabilization of convection and diffusion terms is achieved by means of quasi-static orthogonal subscales. For each period of time, the fluid problem was solved and the geometry of the mesh of each fluid plane is updated according to the structure displacements. Using this technique, along-wind and across-wind effects have been properly explained. The method was applied to an industrial chimney in three scenarios (with or without TMD and for different damping values) and for two wind speeds, showing different responses.

The main purpose of this study is to reproduce in silico the dynamics of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (MHV,- St Jude Hemodynamic Plus, 27 min characteristic size) by means of a fully implicit fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method, and experimentally validate the results using an ultrafast cinematographic technique. The computational model was constructed to realistically reproduce the boundary condition (72 beats per minute (bprn), cardiac output 4.51/min) and the geometry of the experimental setup, including the valve housing and the hinge configuration. The simulation was carried out coupling a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package based on finite-volume method with user-defined code for solving the structural domain, and exploiting the parallel performance of the whole numerical setup. Outputs are leaflets excursion from opening to Closure and the fluid dynamics through the valve. Results put in evidence a favorable comparison between the computed and the experimental data: the model captures the main features of the leaflet motion during the systole. The use of parallel computing drastically limited the computational costs, showing a linear scaling on 16 processors (despite the massive use of user-defined subroutines to manage the FSI process). The favorable agreement obtained between in vitro and in silico results of the leaflet displacements confirms the consistency of the numerical method used, and candidates the application of FSI models to become a major tool to optimize the MHV design and eventually provides useful information to surgeons.

In this work an iterative strategy to implicitly couple dimensionally-heterogeneous blood flow models accounting for the continuity of mean total normal stress at interface boundaries is developed. Conservation of mean total normal stress in the coupling of heterogeneous models is mandatory to satisfy energetic consistency between them. Nevertheless, existing methodologies are based on modifications of the Navier-Stokes variational formulation, which are undesired when dealing with fluid-structure interaction or black box codes. The proposed methodology makes possible to couple one-dimensional and three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction models, enforcing the continuity of mean total normal stress while just imposing flow rate data or even the classical Neumann boundary data to the models. This is accomplished by modifying an existing iterative algorithm, which is also able to account for the continuity of the vessel area, when required. Comparisons are performed to assess differences in the convergence properties of the algorithms when considering the continuity of mean normal stress and the continuity of mean total normal stress for a wide range of flow regimes. Finally, examples in the physiological regime are shown to evaluate the importance, or not, of considering the continuity of mean total normal stress in hemodynamics simulations.

This paper describes a coupling scheme for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) applications extended to high-density fluids. The scheme is based on the classical iterative partitioned approach (one solver per physics), an approach easy to implement, but which traditionally has only been used in aeroelasticity applications. As fluid density increases convergence is no longer ensured, being clearly dependent on the ratio between the total fluid mass and the mass of the structure. An approach based on the estimation of the added mass matrix is here presented in detail, and validated using the classical 1D problem of a piston in a cylinder. Results are shown for a cylinder moving in a moderate fluid flow, and the case of an elastic membrane allows conclusions to be drawn regarding the applicability of this approach to general FSI cases.

In this paper, the vibration characteristics of transversely isotropic magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) rectangular plates in contact with fluid are investigated. The mathematical formulation on the determination of added virtual mass for water-contacting MEE rectangular plates with uniform thickness is performed. Based on the recently proposed differential equation governing the dynamical responses of the MEE rectangular plates, a fluid-structure interaction model is established and analyzed. First of all, the added virtual mass incremental (AVMI) factor of the system is calculated by using the proposed approach and the added virtual mass can then be obtained, furthermore, the natural frequencies of the MEE rectangular plates in contact with fluid with different boundary conditions are also investigated. It is noted that the natural frequencies based on the proposed method are very useful for those engineers or researchers who are engaged in the vibration analysis and design of the MEE plate in contact with fluid.

详细信息
In this article we describe a stable partitioned algorithm that overcomes the added mass instability arising in fluid-structure interactions of light rigid bodies and inviscid compressible flow. The new algorithm is stable even for bodies with zero mass and zero moments of inertia. The approach is based on a local characteristic projection of the force on the rigid body and is a natural extension of the recently developed algorithm for coupling compressible flow and deformable bodies [1-3]. The new algorithm advances the solution in the fluid domain with a standard upwind scheme and explicit time-stepping. The Newton-Euler system of ordinary differential equations governing the motion of the rigid body is augmented by added mass correction terms. This system, which is very stiff for light bodies, is solved with an A-stable diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta scheme. The implicit system (there is one independent system for each body) consists of only 3d + d(2) scalar unknowns in d = 2 or d = 3 space dimensions and is fast to solve. The overall cost of the scheme is thus dominated by the cost of the explicit fluid solver. Normal mode analysis is used to prove the stability of the approximation for a one-dimensional model problem and numerical computations confirm these results. In multiple space dimensions the approach naturally reveals the form of the added mass tensors in the equations governing the motion of the rigid body. These tensors, which depend on certain surface integrals of the fluid impedance, couple the translational and angular velocities of the body. Numerical results in two space dimensions, based on the use of moving overlapping grids and adaptive mesh refinement, demonstrate the behavior and efficacy of the new scheme. These results include the simulation of the difficult problems of shock impingement on an ellipse and a more complex body with appendages, both with zero mass. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.
