The flow around airfoils being an energy tank;instabilities are then possible, leading often to dangerous vibratory levels. In order to predict and control aeroelastic instabilities, this investigation aims to provide a detailed understanding of the flow interaction within the complex geometry of moving blades cascade. Among the working parameters, we consider the effect of the pressure rate on the blades aeroelastic instabilities under an unsteady compressible flow. We investigate the consequences of the airfoil motion onto the aerodynamic performances, the energy transfer between the flow and the structure and the aerodynamic stability. The nonlinear aeroelastic model is based on a dynamic fluid code, a structure code and a weak coupling algorithm. Numerical simulations are conducted in three airfoil situations: fixed, pitching and free motions. The simulation results show that the pressure rate has an effect on the blade aeroelastic instabilities, their amplitude and their type: flutter and limit cycle oscillations (LCOs). The oscillation amplitude and the energy transferred to the airfoil increase more rapidly as the pressure rate increases. These instabilities have significant effects on the aerodynamic loads. Analysing the energy exchange and the aerodynamic work, we note that the aerodynamic stability is very sensible to the pressure ratio. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this study the coupled overlapping domain (COD) technique, previously developed within our group, is extended to make it suitable for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) computations with flexible elastic solids. A standard FSI benchmark from literature is implemented to verify the computations of the COD technique. However, in this study the incompressible neo-Hookean material model is applied instead of the compressible St. Venant-Kirchhoff model. The results of the COD technique are compared to the solutions obtained with a full finite element method. The performed computations demonstrate the COD technique accurately computes the solids displacements and the forces on the elastic solid. The results of the COD technique also show a good resemblance with the results obtained by other researchers, even with the use of a different material model. Additionally, the COD technique is applied to compute a rotating elastic beam in a square box filled with fluid. The computations show that the COD technique is capable of computing large deformations and translations, which makes this technique suitable for a wide range of applications without the need for computationally expensive remeshing.

In this paper we develop a family of preconditioners for the linear algebraic systems arising from the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian discretization of some fluid-structure interaction models. After the time discretization, we formulate the fluid-structure interaction equations as saddle point problems and prove the uniform well-posedness. Then we discretize the space dimension by finite element methods and prove their uniform well-posedness by two different approaches under appropriate assumptions. The uniform well-posedness makes it possible to design robust preconditioners for the discretized fluid-structure interaction systems. Numerical examples are presented to show the robustness and efficiency of these preconditioners. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We introduce an isogeometric, immersed, and fully-implicit formulation for fluid-structure interaction (FSI). The method focuses on viscous incompressible flows and nonlinear hyperelastic incompressible solids, which are a common case in various fields, such as, for example, biomechanics. In our FSI method, we utilize an Eulerian mesh on the whole domain and a Lagrangian mesh on the solid domain. The Lagrangian mesh is arbitrarily located on top of the Eulerian mesh in a non-conforming fashion. Due to the formulation of our problem, based on the Immersed Finite Element Method (IFEM), we do not need mesh update or remeshing algorithms. The fluid-structure interface is the boundary of the Lagrangian mesh, but cuts arbitrarily the Eulerian mesh. The generalized- alpha method is used for time discretization and NURBS-based isogeometric analysis is employed for the spatial discretization on both fluid and solid domains. The information transfer between the two meshes is carried out using the NURBS functions, which avoids the use of the so-called discretized delta functions. The higher order and especially the higher continuity of NURBS functions allow us to deal with severe mesh distortion in the Lagrangian mesh in comparison with classical C-0 linear piecewise functions as we prove numerically. Our numerical solutions attain good agreement with theoretical data for free-falling objects in two and three dimensions, which confirms the feasibility of our methodology. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

We investigate the interaction between a viscoelastic Oldroyd-B fluid and an elastic structure via simulations applying an implicit partitioned coupling algorithm. Simulations are done for a flow through a channel with a flexible wall and a lid-driven cavity flow with flexible bottom. In addition, we make use of a mass-spring-dashpot prototype model to study the dynamic interaction problem. Both the simulation results and the analysis of the prototype model show that there are obvious differences in the fluid-structure interaction if the fluids are viscoelastic instead of purely viscous. These differences appear in the deformation of the solid at stationary state and in the equilibrium position, amplitude, frequency as well as phase shift of the oscillation. Moreover, we investigate the influence of numerical and physical parameters on the implicit partitioned coupling algorithm for simulation of viscoelastic fluid-structure interaction problems.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is recognized as bad cholesterol, typically has been regarded as a main cause of atherosclerosis. LDL infiltration across arterial wall and subsequent formation of Ox-LDL could lead to atherogenesis. In the present study, combined effects of non-Newtonian fluid behavior and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) on LDL mass transfer inside an artery and through its multilayer arterial wall are examined numerically. Navier-Stokes equations for the blood flow inside the lumen and modified Darcy's model for the power-law fluid through the porous arterial wall are coupled with the equations of mass transfer to describe LDL distributions in various segments of the artery. In addition, the arterial wall is considered as a heterogeneous permeable elastic medium. Thus, elastodynamics equation is invoked to examine effects of different wall elasticity on LDL distribution in the artery. Findings suggest that non-Newtonian behavior of filtrated plasma within the wall enhances LDL accumulation meaningfully. Moreover, results demonstrate that at high blood pressure and due to the wall elasticity, endothelium pores expand, which cause significant variations on endothelium physiological properties in a way that lead to higher LDL accumulation. Additionally, results describe that under hypertension, by increasing angular strain, endothelial junctions especially at leaky sites expand more dramatic for the high elastic model, which in turn causes higher LDL accumulation across the intima layer and elevates atherogenesis risk.

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a breathing disorder in sleep developed as a consequence of upper airway anatomical characteristics and sleep-related muscle relaxation. fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation was adopted to explain the mechanism of pharyngeal collapse and snoring. The focus was put on the velopharyngeal region where the greatest level of upper airway compliance was estimated to occur. The velopharyngeal tissue was considered in a way that ensures proper boundary conditions, at the regions where the tissue adheres to the bone structures. The soft palate with uvula was not cut out from the surrounding tissue and considered as an isolated structure. Both, soft palate flutter as well as airway narrowing have been obtained by 3D FSI simulations which can be considered as a step forward to explain snoring and eventual occlusion. It was found out that during the inspiratory phase of breathing, at given elastic properties of the tissue and without taking gravity into consideration, velopharyngeal narrowing due to negative suction pressure occurs. Furthermore, soft palate flutter as the main attribute of snoring was predicted during the expiratory phase of breathing. The evaluated flutter frequency of 17.8 Hz is in close correlation with the frequency of explosive peaks of sound that are produced in palatal snoring in inspiratory phase, as reported in literature.

This paper employs the fragility function method to study the effects of dynamic fluid-structure interaction on seismic response of multi-span deep water bridges. Currently, two approaches are widely used to study the dynamic fluid-structure interaction effect of structures: the analytical 'added mass' method and full-scale two- or three dimensional finite element modeling. This paper offers a computationally economical yet adequate procedure. In this procedure, Morrison equation is employed to calculate the added mass for piles and columns, and a water-foundation coupling system is modeled to calculate the added mass for pile cap. In this water-foundation coupling system, a pile beam-element was adopted to avoid the thorough water domain modeling. A typical multi-span continuous composite girder bridge in China lying in deep water environment is used as a case study. The uncertainty of modeling parameters is considered using an experimental design method. The limit state functions are derived through a simple fuzzy model. Fragility functions of pier column and pile foundation are developed using nonlinear time history analysis. Fragility curves conditioned on different parameters in fuzzy models and different water depth are then compared to illustrate the effects of fuzziness and seismic hydrodynamic pressure. In general, for bridges with only pile surrounding water, the influence of water on potential damage of bridges is small and can be practically negligible. However, for the cases which the pile cap is under the water, increasing the water depth can generally increase the damage probability. It is concluded that for deep water bridges, the influence of dynamic fluid-structure interaction can be harmful to bridge responses, which aggravates with water depth by increasing the displacement of pile cap and introducing larger seismic demands on pier columns.

An approach for the shape optimization of fluid-structure interaction (PSI) problems is presented. It is based on a partitioned solution procedure for fluid-structure interaction, a shape representation with NURBS, and sequential quadratic programming approach for optimization within a parallel environment with MPI as direct coupling tool. The optimization procedure is accelerated by employing reduced order models based on a proper orthogonal decomposition method with snapshots and Kriging. After the verification of the PSI optimization, the functionality and efficiency of the reduced order modeling as well as the corresponding optimization procedure are investigated.
