The effects of elastic anisotropy in piping materials on fluid-structure interaction are studied for water-filled carbon-fiber reinforced thin plastic pipes. When an impact is introduced to water in a pipe, there are two waves traveling at different speeds. A primary wave corresponding to a breathing mode of pipe travels slowly and a precursor wave corresponding to a longitudinal mode of pipe travels fast. An anisotropic stress-strain relationship of piping materials has been taken into account to describe the propagation of primary and precursor waves in the carbon-fiber reinforced thin plastic pipes. The wave speeds and strains in the axial and hoop directions are calculated as a function of carbon-fiber winding angles and compared with the experimental data. As the winding angle increases, the primary wave speed increases due to the increased stiffness in the hoop direction, while the precursor wave speed decreases. The magnitudes of precursor waves are much smaller than those of primary waves so that the effect of precursor waves on the deformation of pipe is not significant. The primary wave generates the hoop strain accompanying the opposite-signed axial strain through the coupling compliance of pipe. The magnitude of hoop strain induced by the primary waves decreases with increasing the winding angle due to the increased hoop stiffness of pipe. The magnitude of axial strain is small at low and high winding angles where the coupling compliance is small. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An analysis of fluid-structure interaction is presented for incompressible and inviscid flow in a channel bounded by symmetric cantilever beams. Small deflections of the beams and no flows normal to the beams are assumed, thus allowing the governing equations to be defined using quasi-one-dimensional pressure and flow velocity distribution;pressure and velocity are assumed to be uniform across the cross section of the channel. The steady-state solution of the present problem is analytically derived by the linearization of the governing equations. The solution is shown to consist of infinite modes, which is verified by comparing with numerical solutions obtained by the finite element method. The nonlinear effect in the steady-state solution is modeled by numerical method to estimate the error due to linearization. However, only a few leading modes are physically significant owing to the effects of flow compressibility and viscosity. The analytic solutions of the fluid-structure interaction are also presented for dynamic problems assuming harmonic vibration. The steady-state and stationary initial conditions are used, and the equilibrium frequency is determined to minimize the residual error of Euler equation. The fluid-structure interaction is characterized by a phase difference and distortion of waveform shape in the time history of the boundary velocity. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents computational analysis of a fluid-structure interaction for a flapping flexible plate moved with propulsive velocity in quiescent fluid to investigate the effect of flexibility on propulsive velocity, which is critical for fish, birds, insects, and micro air vehicles with flapping wings. This study found that the mechanism of the flapping plate moved with propulsive velocity differs from that of the plate fixed in the propulsive direction, and the flexibility of the plate improves the propulsive velocity to create an optimal propulsion. The lattice Boltzmann method with an immersed boundary technique using a direct forcing scheme is used to simulate the fluid, while the finite element method with Euler beam elements is used to model structural deformation of the flexible plate. We developed the moving domain scheme to reversely move the domain at the velocity of the plate to simulate the moving plate. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The present work aims to address the nonlinear problem of internal fluid-structure interaction using a finite volume approach in both the fluid and solid domains. The Navier-Stokes equations are applied on the fluid domain and the nonlinear elastodynamic equations are used for the deforming solid domain. The method has been verified in the fluid, solid, and coupled domain separately. The results show a good performance by the method to solve coupled problems in internal fluid-structure interaction.

Vascular compliance is considered both a cause and a consequence of cardiovascular disease and a significant factor in the mid- and long-term patency of vascular grafts. However, the biomechanical effects of localised changes in compliance cannot be satisfactorily studied with the available medical imaging technologies or surgical simulation materials. To address this unmet need, we developed a coupled silico-vitro platform which allows for the validation of numerical fluid-structure interaction results as a numerical model and physical prototype. This numerical one-way and two-way fluid-structure interaction study is based on a three-dimensional computer model of an idealised femoral artery which is validated against patient measurements derived from the literature. The numerical results are then compared with experimental values collected from compliant arterial phantoms via direct pressurisation and ring tensile testing. Phantoms within a compliance range of 1.4-68.0%/ 100 mmHg were fabricated via additive manufacturing and silicone casting, then mechanically characterised via ring tensile testing and optical analysis under direct pressurisation with moderately statistically significant differences in measured compliance ranging between 10 and 20% for the two methods. One-way fluid-structure interaction coupling underestimated arterial wall compliance by up to 14.7% compared with two-way coupled models. Overall, SolarisTM (Smooth-On) matched the compliance range of the numerical and in vivo patient models most closely out of the tested silicone materials. Our approach is promising for vascular applications where mechanical compliance is especially important, such as the study of diseases which commonly affect arterial wall stiffness, such as atherosclerosis, and the model-based design, surgical training, and optimisation of vascular prostheses.

We develop a novel large-scale kinematic model for animating the left ventricle (LV) wall and use this model to drive the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between the ensuing blood flow and a mechanical heart valve prosthesis implanted in the aortic position of an anatomic LV/aorta configuration. The kinematic model is of lumped type and employs a cell-based, FitzHugh-Nagumo framework to simulate the motion of the LV wall in response to an excitation wavefront propagating along the heart wall. The emerging large-scale LV wall motion exhibits complex contractile mechanisms that include contraction (twist) and expansion (untwist). The kinematic model is shown to yield global LV motion parameters that are well within the physiologic range throughout the cardiac cycle. The FSI between the leaflets of the mechanical heart valve and the blood flow driven by the dynamic LV wall motion and mitral inflow is simulated using the curvilinear immersed boundary (CURVIB) method (Ge and Sotiropoulos, 2007;Borazjani et al., 2008) [1,2] implemented in conjunction with a domain decomposition approach. The computed results show that the simulated flow patterns are in good qualitative agreement with in vivo observations. The simulations also reveal complex kinematics of the valve leaflets, thus, underscoring the need for patient-specific simulations of heart valve prosthesis and other cardiac devices.

Scientific computing has progressively become an important tool for research in cardiovascular diseases. The role of quantitative analyses based on numerical simulations has moved from 'proofs of concept' to patient-specific investigations, thanks to a strong integration between imaging and computational tools. However, beyond individual geometries, numerical models require the knowledge of parameters that are barely retrieved from measurements, especially in vivo. For this reason, recently cardiovascular mathematics considered data assimilation procedures for extracting the knowledge of patient-specific parameters from measures and images. In this paper, we consider specifically the quantification of vascular compliance, i.e. the parameter quantifying the tendency of arterial walls to deform under blood stress. Following up a previous paper, where a variational data assimilation procedure was proposed, based on solving an inverse fluid-structure interaction problem, here we consider model reduction techniques based on a proper orthogonal decomposition approach to accomplish the solution of the inverse problem in a computationally efficient way.

In this paper, a nonisothermal fluid-structure interaction mathematical model for the piston/cylinder interface leakage is presented. Full account is taken of the piston eccentricity, elastic deformations of the piston pair, the nonisothermal flow in the interface, and the physical properties of the fluid such as the pressure-viscosity and temperature-viscosity effects. The numerical method for the solution of the model is given, which can simultaneously solve for the fluid pressure distribution and leakage rate in the interface. The model is validated by comparing the calculated leakage rates with the measurements. Results show the good accuracy of the model. The impacts of parameters such as the piston diameter, the initial clearance between the piston pair, and the piston velocity on the leakage rate are discussed. Some of the conclusions provide good guidance for the design of high-pressure fuel pumps.

fluid-structure interaction analysis involving free surface flow has been investigated using mesh-based methods or mesh-free particle methods. While mesh-based methods have several problems in dealing with the fragmentation of geometry and moving interfaces and with the instability of nonlinear advective terms, mesh-free particle methods can deal with free surface and moving boundary relatively easily. In structural analyses, the finite element method, which is a mesh-based method, has been investigated extensively and can accurately deal with not only elastic problems but also plastic and fracture problems. Thus, the present study proposes a partitioned coupling strategy for fluid-structure interaction problems involving free surfaces and moving boundaries that calculates the fluid domain using the moving particle simulation method and the structure domain using the finite element method. As the first step, we apply a conventional serial staggered algorithm as a weak coupling scheme. In addition, for the verification of the proposed method, the problem of a breaking dam on an elastic wall is calculated, and the results are compared with the results obtained by other methods.
