Analytical approach to modeling the interaction between submerged elastic structures and non- stationary loads has long been recognized as an attractive tool of engineering analysis, especially at the pre- design stage where it has been particularly valued for its high computational efficiency. At the same time, the approach has a number of limitations, the most regrettable one being its inability to handle geometries that are more complex than the basic ones such as a spherical or cylindrical geometry. We present an attempt to overcome this limitation while still preserving the much favored computational efficiency by introducing a hybrid methodology that combines the analytical and finiteelement approaches. We then validate the methodology using available experimental data and show that a good agreement with the experiments is observed.

In this study we present the results of the benchmark of a turbulent fluid-structure interaction test case. An implicit partitioned approach is employed to couple the fluid and structure subproblems. We employ three different techniques to model the turbulence in fluid motion. A 2-d unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes approach, with an elliptic relaxation based turbulence model (zeta-f), successfully captures the oscillation mode. Further investigations are performed with a Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation and a Large Eddy Simulation model. The zeta-f model is used as a baseline unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes model for the Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation. A comparison of the structural deflections from the simulations show a reasonable agreement with the experiment. In light of the presented results, the suitability of the modeling approaches is discussed.

A parallel fully-coupled approach has been developed for the fluid-structure interaction problem in a cerebral artery with aneurysm. An Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation based on the side-centered unstructured finite volume method [2] is employed for the governing incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and the classical Galerkin finite element formulation is used to discretize the constitutive law for the Saint Venant-Kirchhoff material in a Lagrangian frame for the solid domain. A special attention is given to construct an algorithm with exact fluid mass/volume conservation while obeying the global discrete geometric conservation law (DGCL). The resulting large-scale algebraic linear equations are solved using a one-level restricted additive Schwarz preconditioner with a block-incomplete factorization within each partitioned sub-domains. The parallel implementation of the present fully coupled unstructured fluid-structure solver is based on the PETSc library for improving the efficiency of the parallel algorithm. The proposed numerical algorithm is applied to a complicated problem involving unsteady pulsatile blood flow in a cerebral artery with aneurysm as a realistic fluid-structure interaction problem encountered in biomechanics.

In the present work one of the hybrid VLES (Very Large Eddy Simulation) turbulence models is investigated in the context of fluid- structureinteraction (FSI). Firstly, the formulation of the VLES model for two different RANS models (k - sigma and sigma - f) is validated with a fully- developed channel flow at a turbulent Reynolds number of Re = 395. Then, this model is used to calculate the flow over an inclining plate in order to investigate the potential of VLES for moving structures. The results of simulations using two different background RANS models are compared to URANS and DDES results. In addition, the simulation results for different underlying RANS models are discussed.

In the simulation of multiphysics systems, we often encounter large-scale linear systems arising from the implicit time discretizations of coupled PDEs. Although it is possible to utilize the existing solvers for each field, systematic study is necessary in order to design fast solvers for the coupled systems. For large-scale sparse linear systems, preconditioned Krylov subspace methods are usually the most efficient solvers. Preconditioning techniques are the key to ensuring that these iterative solvers perform in a robust way for various applications. In this dissertation, we study the well-posedness of linear systems, based on which we develop robust preconditioners. By using this procedure, we study the well-posedness of poroelasticity and fluid-structure interaction and propose robust block preconditioners. In addition to exploring preconditioning techniques, we also introduce a new arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian method for fluid-structure interaction with structure undergoing large rotation and small deformation. This technique provides a new approach to modeling important applications such as hydroelectric power generators and artificial heart pumps.

In this work, the dynamics of a multilayered structure-fluidinteraction (FSI) PDE system is considered. Here, the coupling of 3D Stokes and 3D elastic dynamics is realized via an additional 2D elastic equation on the boundary interface. Such modeling PDE systems appear in the mathematical modeling of eukaryotic cells and vascular blood flow in mammalian arteries. We analyze the long time behavior of solutions to such FSI coupled system in the sense of strong stability. Our proof is based on an analysis of the spectrum of the associated semigroup generator A which in particular entails the elimination of all three parts of the spectrum of A from the imaginary axis. In order to avoid steady states in our stability analysis, we firstly show that zero is an eigenvalue for the operator A, and we provide a characterization of the (one dimensional) zero eigenspace Null(A). In turn, we address the issue of asymptotic decay of the solution to the zero state for any initial data taken from the orthogonal complement of the zero eigenspace Null(A)L. (c) 2025 The Author(s).

When simulating the propagation of a pressure pulse in arteries, the discretization parameters (i.e. the time step size Delta t and the grid size Delta x) need to be chosen carefully in order to avoid a decrease in amplitude of the traveling wave due to numerical dissipation. In this paper the effect of numerical dissipation is examined using a numerical fluidstructureinteraction (FSI) model of the pulse propagation in an artery. More insight in the influence of the temporal and spatial resolution of the wave on the results of these simulations is gained using an analytical study in which the scalar linear one-dimensional transport equation is considered. Although this model does not take into account the full complexity of the problem under consideration, the results can be used as a guidance for the selection of the numerical parameters. Furthermore, this analysis illustrates the difference in accuracy that can be obtained using a second-order implicit time integration scheme instead of a first-order scheme. The results from the analytical and numerical studies are subsequently used to determine the settings necessary to obtain a grid and time step converged simulation of the wave propagation and reflection in a simplified model of an aorta with repaired aortic coarctation. This FSI model allows to study the hemodynamic impact of a stiff segment and demonstrates that the presence of a stiff segment has an important impact on a short pressure pulse, but has almost no influence on a physiological pressure pulse. This phenomenon is explained by analyzing the reflections induced by the stiff segment. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, the hemodynamic characteristics of blood flow and stress distribution in a layered and stenotic aorta are investigated. By introducing symmetrical and unsymmetrical stenosis, the influence of stenosis morphology and stenotic ratio on the coupled dynamic responses of aorta is clarified. In the analysis, the in-vivo pulsatile waveforms and fully fluidstructureinteraction (PSI) between the layered elastic aorta and the blood are considered. The results show that the fluid domain is abnormal in the stenotic aorta, and the whirlpool forms at the obstructed and downstream unobstructed regions. The maximum wall shear stresses appear at the throat of the stenosis. Downstream region appears low and oscillated shear stresses. In addition, along with the increase of the stenotic ratio, the amplitude of the maximum shear stress will be intensively increased and localized, and the sensitivity is also increased. In the aorta with unsymmetrical stenosis, the Von Mises stresses reach the peak value at the side with the surface protuberance, but they are reduced at the side with no protuberance. The sign variation of the layer interface shear stresses near the throat indicates the variation of the shear direction which increases the opportunity of shear damage at the transition plane. Moreover, the shear stress levels at the fluid-solid and intima-media interfaces are higher than that at the media-adventitia interface. The unsymmetrical stenosis causes higher stresses at the side with the surface protuberance than symmetrical one, but lower at the side with no protuberance. These results provide an insight in the influence of the stenosis, as well as its morphology, on the pathogenesis and pathological evolution of some diseases, such as arteriosclerosis and aortic dissection.

In this paper, the propulsive performance of a flexible articulated caudal fin is investigated by fluid-structure interaction. The caudal fin is composed of two links which are connected by a hinge. One link is driven by pitching motion while the other one moves passively. Five cases of link flexibility are investigated, namely, the rigid-rigid case, the medium flexible-medium flexible case, the flexible-flexible case, the rigid-flexible case and the flexible-rigid case. Their fluid field and structure deformations are analysed and hydrodynamic forces are compared. It is found that the rigid-rigid caudal fin produces larger thrust force than other cases with a low-pitching frequency, while the rigid-flexible case performs better with a higher frequency. The mean thrust force increases with the frequency in our experiments, however, for the medium flexible-medium flexible case, an optimal frequency exists. Besides, the effect of the hinge stiffness is studied. It is seen that the medium flexible-medium flexible case exhibits a striking performance. When the hinge stiffness decreases, its mean thrust force increases and possesses larger amplitude while the forces of other cases decrease. These results can guide the design of flexible propeller with links and will be useful for the development of flexible underwater robots.
