fluid-structure coupling is addressed through a unified equation for compressible Newtonian fluid flow and elastic solid deformation. This is done by introducing thermodynamics within Cauchy's equation through the isothermal compressibility coefficient that is experimentally measurable for both fluids and solids. The vectorial resolution of the governing equation, where every component of velocity vectors and displacement variation vectors is calculated simultaneously in the overall multi-phase system, is characteristic of a monolithic resolution involving no iterative coupling. For system equation closure, mass density and pressure are both re-actualized from velocity vector divergence, when the shear stress tensor within the solid phase is re-actualized from the displacement variation vectors. This novel approach is first validated on a two-phase system, involving a plane fluid-solid interface, through the two following test cases: (i) steady-state compression and (ii) longitudinal and transverse elastic wave propagations. Then the 3D study of compressive fluid injection towards an elastic solid is analyzed from initial time to steady-state evolution. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Due to the rapid advancement of supercomputing hardware, there is a growing interest in parallel algorithms for modeling the full three-dimensional interaction between the blood flow and the arterial wall. In [4], Barker and Cai developed a parallel framework for solving fluid-structure interaction problems in two dimensions. In this paper, we extend the idea to three dimensions. We introduce and study a parallel scalable domain decomposition method for solving nonlinear monolithically coupled systems arising from the discretization of the coupled system in an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian framework with a fully implicit stabilized finite element method. The investigation focuses on the robustness and parallel scalability of the Newton-Krylov algorithm preconditioned with an overlapping additive Schwarz method. We validate the proposed approach and report the parallel performance for some patient-specific pulmonary artery problems. The algorithm is shown to be scalable with a large number of processors and for problems with millions of unknowns. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

This paper presents results from an experimental study of the hydrodynamic and hydroelastic performance of six different flexible hydrofoils of similar geometry;four metal hydrofoils of stainless steel (SS) and aluminum (AL), and two composite hydrofoils of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The two CFRP hydrofoils had differing layups, one with fibers at 0 and the other at 30 relative to the spanwise axis of the hydrofoil. All hydrofoil models have the same unswept trapezoidal planform of aspect ratio 333. Two section profiles were chosen, a standard NACA0009 (Type I) and a modified NACA0009 (Type II) with a thicker trailing edge for improved manufacture of CFRP hydrofoils. Hydrofoils were tested in a water tunnel mounted from a six-component force balance. Forces and deformations were measured at several chord-based Reynolds numbers up to Re-c = 1.0 x 10(6) and incidences beyond stall. Hysteresis, force fluctuations, and the natural frequency of the hydrofoils in air and in water were also investigated. Pre-stall forces on the metal hydrofoils were observed to be Reynolds number dependent for low values but became independent at 0.8 x 10(6) and greater. Forces on the CFRP hydrofoils presented an increasing or decreasing lift slope for all Re, depending on the orientation of the carbon unidirectional layers. The change in loading pattern is due to the coupled bend twist deformation experienced by the hydrofoils under hydrodynamic loading. Forces and deflections in the Type I hydrofoils were observed to be stable up to stall and non-dimensional tip deflections were found to be independent of incidence and Rec. Type II metal hydrofoils had a mild Re, dependence, attributed to the blunt trailing edge, and Type II CFRP hydrofoils had a stronger incidence and Re c dependence. The natural frequency under stall conditions of all but one of the CFRP hydrofoils was in agreement with added mass and finite element analysis estimates. The disagreement was observed in the

Direct targeting of solid tumors with chemotherapeutic drugs and/or radioactive microspheres can be a treatment option which minimizes side-effects and reduces cost. Briefly, computational analysis generates particle release maps (PRMs) which visually link upstream particle injection regions in the main artery with associated exit branches, some connected to tumors. The overall goal is to compute patient-specific PRMs realistically, accurately, and cost-effectively, which determines the suitable radial placement of a micro-catheter for optimal particle injection. Focusing in this paper on new steps towards realism and accuracy, the impact of fluid-structure interaction on direct drug-targeting is evaluated, using a representative hepatic artery system with liver tumor as a test bed. Specifically, the effect of arterial wall motion was demonstrated by modeling a two-way fluid-structure interaction analysis with Lagrangian particle tracking in the bifurcating arterial system. Clearly, rapid computational evaluation of optimal catheter location for tumor-targeting in a clinical application is very important. Hence, rigid-wall cases were also compared to the flexible scenario to establish whether PRMs generated when based on simplifying assumptions could provide adequate guidance towards ideal catheter placement. It was found that the best rigid (i.e., time-averaged) geometry is the physiological one that occurs during the diastolic targeting interval.

This work focuses on the development and analysis of a partitioned numerical method for moving domain, fluid-structure interaction problems. We model the fluid using incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and the structure using linear elasticity equations. We assume that the structure is thick, that is, described in the same dimension as the fluid. We propose a non-iterative, domain decomposition method where the fluid and the structure subproblems are solved separately. The method is based on generalized Robin boundary conditions, which are used in both fluid and structure subproblems. Using energy estimates, we show that the proposed method applied to a moving domain problem is unconditionally stable. We also analyze the convergence of the method and show O(Delta t(1/2)) convergence in time and optimal convergence in space. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the performance of the method. In particular, we explore the relation between the combination parameter used in the derivation of the generalized Robin boundary conditions and the accuracy of the scheme. We also compare the performance of the method to a monolithic solver.

In this paper, a numerical tool able to solve fluid-structure interaction problems is proposed. The lattice Boltzmann method is used to compute fluid dynamics, while the corotational finite element formulation together with the Time Discontinuous Galerkin method are adopted to predict structure dynamics. The Immersed Boundary method is used to account for the presence of an immersed solid in the lattice fluid background and to handle fluid-structure interface conditions, while a Volume-of-fluid-based method is adopted to take trace of the evolution of the free surface. These ingredients are combined through a partitioned staggered explicit strategy, according to an efficient and accurate algorithm recently developed by the authors. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is tested against two different cases. The former investigates the dam break phenomenon, involving the modeling of the free surface. The latter involves the vibration regime experienced by two highly deformable flapping flags obstructing a flow. A wide numerical campaign is carried out by computing the error in terms of interface energy artificially introduced at the fluid-solid interface. Moreover, the structure behavior is dissected by simulating scenarios characterized by different values of the Reynolds number. Present findings are compared to literature results, showing a very close agreement.

We study a steady state fluid-structure interaction problem between an incompressible viscous Newtonian fluid and an elastic structure using a nonlinear boundary condition of friction type on the fluid-structure interface. This condition, also known as Tresca slip boundary condition, allows the fluid to slip on the interface when the tangential component of the fluid shear stress attains a certain threshold function. The governing equations are the 2D Stokes equations for the fluid, written in an unknown domain depending on the structure displacement, and the 1D Euler-Bernoulli model for the structure. We prove that there exists a weak solution of this nonlinear coupled problem by designing a proof based on the Schauder fixed-point theorem. The theoretical result will be illustrated with a numerical example. (C) 2021 International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (IMACS). Published by Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, spatial velocity distributions in pulse-wave propagation based on a fluid-structure interaction model are presented. The investigation is performed using the assumption of laminar flow and a linear-elastic wall. The fluid-structure interaction scheme is constructed using the finite element method. The results show that velocity distributions embody an obvious time delay in an elastic tube model. Further, the fully developed flow is delayed and the velocity values are increased in comparison with a rigid tube model. The increase in the wall thickness makes the time delay between the velocity peaks of different sites smaller while the time delay between the velocity minima is unchanged. Similarly, the time delay between the velocity bottoms is more easily found when decreasing the internal radius. The model gives valid results for spatial velocity distributions, which provide important information for wave propagation.

In this paper, the entity model of a 1.5MW offshore wind turbine blade was built by Pro/Engineer software. fluid flow control equations described by arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE) were established, and the theoretical model of geometrically nonlinear vibration characteristics under fluid-structure interaction (FSI) was given. The simulation of offshore turbulent wind speed was achieved by programming in MATLAB. The brandish displacement, the Mises stress distribution and nonlinear dynamic response curves were obtained. Furthermore, the influence of turbulence and FSI on blade dynamic characteristics was studied. The results show that the response curves of maximum brandish displacement and maximum Mises stress present the attenuation trends. The region of the maximum displacement and maximum stress and their variations at different blade positions are revealed. It was shown that the contribution of turbulence effect (TE) on displacement and stress is smaller than that of the FSI effect, and its extent of contribution is related to the relative span length. In addition, it was concluded that the simulation considering bidirectional FSI (BFSI) can reflect the vibration characteristics of wind turbine blades more accurately.
