In this paper, an insect wing structure is modeled based on data obtained from measurements on real hawkmoth (Manduca Sexta) wings. The aerodynamics of insect wings is simulated by an extended unsteady vortex-lattice method. The finite-element model of a flexible hawkmoth wing is built and validated. A computer program, which couples the finite-element model with the aerodynamic model, is used to study the effects of fluid-structure interaction. Some important features due to the fluid-structure interaction in hovering and forward flight are observed in the present study.

The purpose of this research is to validate the usage of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method in solving fluid-structure interaction problems as well as study its advantages and disadvantages compared to another well-known technique Boundary Element Method (BEM). The goal is achieved by 1) evaluating the Response Amplitude Operator (RAO) and 2) analyzing the drifting motion of a 1:10 scaled 3m-discus oceanographic buoy developed by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), using both experimental and numerical approaches. For the experimental study, the testing was carried out in an 8-m long wave tank and the buoy motions were measured using non intrusive techniques. For numerical analysis, the project used DualSPHysics open source code - and ANSYS AQWA - one of the leading software widely used in the marine applications to simulate all the experimental scenarios via SPH and BEM techniques respectively. It is observed that while BEM has clear advantages in computational time and the ability to study applicable range of frequencies, SPH, in addition to its capability to simulate drifting motion of the floating structure, has shown to outperform the RAO predictions from BEM (especially in low frequency region). In higher frequency regions, the lack of experimental data hinders the conclusion on which method might be more suitable, as both have their own limitations.

The behavior of a submerged floating tunnel (SFT) exposed to a water current of variable velocity is investigated through complex numerical analyses based on the Computational fluid Dynamics (CFD) and the Finite Element Method (FEM) implemented in the ABAQUS code. An accurate modelling of turbulent phenomena is made, based on both Implicit Large Eddy Simulation and the RANS-based Spalart-Allmaras model, followed by a co-simulation procedure in which the fluid dynamics and the structural analysis are carried out separately and interfaced with each other. Circular and elliptical cross sections are considered, each of them fitted for combined railway and motorway services. The analysis is carried out in both static and dynamic way, by varying the current velocity with a given value of the residual buoyancy of the tunnel. The results emphasize the effect of the main parameters investigated, evidencing the great potentials of the adopted calculation tool for carrying out further investigations aimed at achieving useful elements for the design and optimization of the SFT.

In this study, a method for optimal design of impeller for centrifugal compressor under the influence of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and Response surface method (RSM) was studied. Numerical simulation was conducted using ANSYS Multi-physics with various configurations of impeller geometry. Each of the design parameters was divided into 3 levels. Total 45 design points were planned by Central composite design (CCD) method, which is one of the Design of experiment (DOE) techniques. Response surfaces generated based on the DOE results were used to find the optimal shape of impeller for high aerodynamic performance. The whole process of optimization was conducted using ANSYS Design xplorer (DX). Through the optimization, structural safety and aerodynamic performance of centrifugal compressor were improved.

In this paper, modal responses of the Brezina concrete arch dam, Algeria, are determined using the finite elements commercial packages ANSYS. The dam-water-foundation soil system is investigated based on the added mass and Lagrangian approaches. The former approach is simpler and less costly but cannot provide the sloshing frequencies. Furthermore, as reported by other researchers, the added mass approach gives higher coupled frequencies as compared to the actual ones, which are better approximated by those obtained from the Lagrangian approach. The natural frequencies of the dam-water-massless foundation model are well below those of the dam-massless foundation model (without water). But, unexpectedly, the frequencies of the dam-water-foundation model are higher than those of the dam-foundation model. This contrasts with the results of other arch dams, including the Morrow Point dam. The results found herein are likely due to the geometric characteristics of the Brezina dam, which are not typically those of an arch dam. Lastly, considering the coupled mode that yields the largest effective mass, its frequency moderately decreases with the increase of the water level, except for the 10 m water height at which the natural frequency is the highest.

Splitter plate plays an important role in a turbine-based combined-cycle (TBCC) exhaust system during the mode transition phase when turbojet engine and ramjet engine operate simultaneously. Dissimilar pressure distribution on both sides of the plate has a potential origin in the aeroelastic coupling, which is an interesting topic while few research works have devoted to that aspect. To better understand the aeroelastic behavior of the plate and the corresponding dynamic flow features, an integrated fluid-structure interaction simulation is conducted under one particular operation condition during mode transition phase in the TBCC exhaust system. A finite-volume-based CFD solver FLUENT is adopted to solve the unsteady Reynolds average Navier-Stokes equations. ABAQUS, a finite-element-method-based CSD solver, is employed to compute the plate elastic deformation. A twoway interaction between the fluid and the structure is accomplished by the mesh-based parallel-code coupling interface (MpCCI) in a loosely-coupled manner. The accuracy of the coupling procedure is validated for the flutter of a flat plate in supersonic flow. Then, features of steady flow field of the TBCC exhaust system are discussed, followed by the investigation of the aeroelastic phenomenon of the splitter plate and the evolution process of the flow field pattern. Finally, performances variation of the exhaust system is obtained and discussed. The results show that the plate vibrates with decaying amplitude and reaches a dynamic stable state eventually. The thrust, lift and pitch moment of the TBCC exhaust system are increased by 0.68%, 2.82% and 5.86%, respectively, compared with the corresponding values in steady state which does not take into account the fluid-structure interaction effects. The analysis reveals the importance of considering the fluid-structure interaction effects in designing the splitter plate in the TBCC exhaust system and demonstrates the availability of the present coupled CFD

This paper considers numerical simulations of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems in hemodynamics for idealized geometries of healthy cerebral arteries modeled by both nonlinear isotropic and anisotropic material constitutive laws. In particular, it focuses on an anisotropic model initially proposed for cerebral arteries to characterize the activation of collagen fibers at finite strains. In the current work, this constitutive model is implemented for the first time in the context of an FSI formulation. In this framework, we investigate the influence of the material model on the numerical results and, in the case of the anisotropic laws, the importance of the collagen fibers on the overall mechanical behavior of the tissue. With this aim, we compare our numerical results by analyzing fluid dynamic indicators, vessel wall displacement, Von Mises stress, and deformations of the collagen fibers. Specifically, for an anisotropic model with collagen fiber recruitment at finite strains, we highlight the progressive activation and deactivation processes of the fibrous component of the tissue throughout the wall thickness during the cardiac cycle. The inclusion of collagen recruitment is found to have a substantial impact on the intramural stress, which will in turn impact the biological response of the intramural cells. Hence, the methodology presented here will be particularly useful for studies of mechanobiological processes in the healthy and diseased vascular wall.

The aim of this thesis is to study the stabilization of fluid-structure interaction models by finite dimensional controls acting at the boundary of the fluid domain. The fluid flow is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations while the displacement of the structure, localized at the boundary of the fluid domain, satisfies a damped Euler-Bernoulli beam equation. First, we study the case where the control is a Dirichlet boundary condition in the fluid equations (control by suction/blowing). We obtain local feedback stabilization results around an unstable stationary solution of this system. Chapters 2 and 3 are devoted to the case where control is a force applied to the structure (control by boundary deformation). We consider, in chapter 2, a simplified model where the Euler-Bernoulli equation for the structure is replaced by a system of finite dimension. We construct feedback control laws for the infinite dimensional systems, or for their semi-discrete approximations, able to stabilize the linearized systems with a prescribed exponential decay rate, and locally the nonlinear systems. We present some numerical results showing the efficiency of the feedback laws.

A three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction model is proposed for the discharge valve movement in a rotary compressor. The compression chamber pressure measured by the experiment confirmed that the fluid-structure interaction model is able to predict the valve dynamic behavior precisely. To demonstrate that the fact of the discharge port being covered partly by the cylinder and the roller cannot be ignored in the valve model, another fluid-structure interaction model in which the discharge port is not covered and the cylinder shape is simplified to be cylindrical is also specially presented. In this simplified fluid-structure interaction model, the flow energy loss through the discharge valve is 68.8% of that in the fluid-structure interaction model, and the impact velocity of the valve reed impacting on the retainer is 2.9m/s higher than that in the FSI model. It is found that the valve reed is obviously inclined because the discharge port is covered partly by the cylinder.

详细信息
The aim of this study is to elucidate the correlation between coronary artery branch angulation, local mechanical and haemodynamic forces at the vicinity of bifurcation. Using a coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modelling approach, five idealized left coronary artery models with various angles ranging from 70 degrees to 110 degrees were developed to investigate the influence of branch angulations. In addition, one CT image-based model was reconstructed to further demonstrate the medical application potential of the proposed FSI coupling method. The results show that the angulation strongly alters its mechanical stress distribution, and the instantaneous wall shear stress distributions are substantially moderated by the arterial wall compliance. As high tensile stress is hypothesized to cause stenosis, the left circumflex side bifurcation shoulder is indicated to induce atherosclerotic changes with a high tendency for wide-angled models.
