Because of their superior efficiency and low detectability compared to conventional submarine-shaped vehicles, bionic underwater vehicles such as Mantabot are playing increasingly important roles in ocean exploration. However, current research on manta-inspired robots is limited to structural design and pure hydrodynamics analysis of pectoral fin performance, with other aspects such as hydroelasticity and optimal design of flapping wings rarely addressed. This work presents a novel method for analyzing aquatic flapping wings by coupling flexible multibody dynamics with a modified unsteady vortex lattice method. The flexible multibody system is solved by using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation, and the conventional unsteady vortex lattice method is modified to accommodate dynamic stall. Compactly supported radial basis functions are used to transfer the hydroelastic forces and structural displacements across the interface meshes while satisfying global energy conservation, and a predictor-corrector method is used to stabilize the iteration procedure. Three different experiments are used to validate the flexible multibody dynamics solver, the modified unsteady vortex lattice solver, and the proposed fluid-structure interaction framework, respectively. Finally, the hydroelastic framework is demonstrated for a fin-like wing, and how flexibility and movement affect the flapping wing dynamics is examined. Numerical examples show that reducing the structural stiffness of the aquatic flapping wing within a certain range improves the propulsive efficiency but also reduces the thrust coefficient, and how the stiffness distribution affects the thrust and propulsive efficiency remains consistent over a range of the Strouhal number.

We present a loosely coupled scheme for the numerical simulation of the cardiac electrofluid-structure interaction problem, whose solution is typically computationally intensive due to the need to suitably treat the coupling of the different submodels. Our scheme relies on a segregated treatment of the subproblems, in particular on an explicit Robin-Neumann algorithm for the fluid-structure interaction, aiming at reducing the computational burden of numerical simulations. The results, both in an ideal and a realistic cardiac setting, show that the proposed scheme is stable at the regimes typical of cardiac simulations. From a comparison with a scheme with implicit fluid-structure interaction, it emerges that, while conservation properties are not fully preserved, computational times significantly benefit from the explicit scheme. Overall, the explicit discretization represents a good trade-off between accuracy and cost, and is a valuable alternative to implicit schemes for fast largescale simulations. & COPY;2023 The Author(s).

To investigate the drag reduction characteristics of a flexible plate, a numerical simulation analysis was per-formed on the relationships of flexibility and thickness of a flexible plate on the effect of drag reduction. To accurately demonstrate the mutual interaction between flexible and fluid flows and capture the moving boundary of the plate, a bidirectional fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method was developed. The numerical results demonstrated that the flexible plate played a positive role in drag reduction. The drag reduction effect could be improved by increasing the flexibility of the plate or decreasing its thickness. Moreover, the pressure-difference resistance acting on the flexible plate was negative, indicating that the existence of pressure resistance was favorable for drag reduction. Further, the numerical results revealed that the real contribution to the drag reduction lay at the middle part of the flexible plate, i.e., the part with the significant deformation, whereas the parts with small deformation exerted little effect on the drag reduction. The conclusions from this study can provide guidance for future investigation of FSI problem and flexible surface-drag-reduction technology.

In this work we present a novel Quasi-Newton technique for the black-box partitioned coupling of inter-face coupled problems. The new RandomiZed Multi-Vector Quasi-Newton method stems from the com-bination of the original Multi-Vector Quasi-Newton technique with the randomized Singular Value Decomposition algorithm, avoiding thus any dense DOFs-sized square matrix operation. This results in a reduction from quadratic to linear complexity in terms of the number of DOFs. Besides this, the need of storing the old inverse Jacobian is also avoided. Instead, only two very "thin" matrices are required to be saved, thus implying a much smaller memory footprint. Furthermore, our proposal can be used free of any user-defined parameter. The article describes the application of the method to the FSI interface residual equations in both Interface Quasi-Newton and Interface Block Quasi-Newton forms. For the lat-ter, we also derive a closed form expression for the update, thus avoiding any linear system of equations resolution, by applying the Woodbury matrix identity to the inverse Jacobian decomposition matrices.

Hollow fiber membrane dehumidification is an effective and economical method of air dehumidification. The hollow fiber membrane module is the critical component of the dehumidification system, which is formed by an arrangement of several hollow fiber membranes. The air stream crosses over the fiber bundles when air dehumidification is performed. The fibers vibrate with the airflow. To investigate the characteristics of the fluid-induced vibration of the hollow fiber membrane, the two-way fluid-structure interaction model under the air-induced condition was established and verified by experiments. The effect of length and air velocity on the vibration and modal of a single hollow fiber membrane was studied, as well as the flow characteristics using the numerical simulation method. The results indicated that the hollow fiber membrane was mainly vibrated by fluid impact in the direction of the airflow. When the air velocity was 1.5 m/s similar to 6 m/s and the membrane length was 100 similar to 400 mm, the natural frequency of the membrane was negatively correlated with length and positively correlated with air velocity. Natural frequencies were more sensitive to changes in length than changes in air velocity. The maximum equivalent stress and total deformation increased with air velocity and length. The maximum equivalent stress was concentrated at both ends, and the maximum deformation occurred in the middle. The research results provided a basis for the structural design of hollow fiber membranes under flow-induced vibration conditions.

In this work, we present a novel approach to perform the linear stability analysis of fluid-structure interaction problems. The underlying idea is the combination of a validated immersed boundary solver for the nonlinear coupled dynamics with Krylovbased techniques to obtain a robust and accurate global stability solver for elastic structures interacting with incompressible viscous flows. The computation of the leading eigenvalues of the linearized system is carried out in a matrix-free framework by adopting a classical Krylov subspace method. The proposed algorithm avoids the complex analytical linearization of the equations while retaining all the relevant aspects of the fully-coupled fluid-structure system. The methodology has been tested for several cases involving two-dimensional incompressible flows around elastically mounted circular cylinders. The obtained results show a good quantitative agreement with those available in the literature. Finally, the method was applied to investigate the linear stability of the laminar flow past two elastically mounted cylinders in tandem configuration at Re = 100, revealing the existence of two complex dominant modes. For low values of the reduced velocity U*, only one mode is found to be unstable and related to the stationary wake mode. The loss of stability of the second mode at U* = 4 marks the beginning of the lock-in region. We also show that for U* = 5 the modes interact, giving rise to the beating phenomenon observable in the nonlinear time evolution of the system. For larger values of the reduced velocity, the linear dynamics is governed by one dominant mode characterized by wider oscillations of the rear cylinder, matching the results of the nonlinear simulations.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

In this paper a novel application of the (high-order) H(div)-conforming Hybrid Discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for monolithic fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is presented. The Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) description is derived for H(div)-conforming finite elements including the Piola transformation, yielding exact divergence free fluid velocity solutions. The arising method is demonstrated by means of the benchmark problems proposed by Turek and Hron (2006). With hp-refinement strategies singularities and boundary layers are overcome leading to optimal spatial convergence rates. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we present a partitioned numerical scheme for solving fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems based on the adaptive time-stepping. The viscous, incompressible fluid is described using the Navier-Stokes equations expressed in an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) form while the elastic structure is modeled using elastodynamic equations. We implement a partitioned scheme based on the Robin-Robin coupling conditions at the interface, combined with the refactorization of Cauchy's one-legged theta-like method with adaptive time-stepping. The method is unconditionally stable, and for theta = 12, it corresponds to the midpoint rule, which is conservative and second-order convergent in time. The focus of this paper is to study the time-adaptivity properties of the proposed method, and to explore the parameters used in the variable time-stepping. The adaptive process is based on the local truncation error (LTE), for computation of which we consider two methods: Milne's device using a modified Adams-Bashforth two-step method, and Taylor's method. The performance of the method is explored in numerical examples, where the adaptive approach is compared to the one where a fixed time step is used. We present an example based on the method of manufactured solutions, where the effect of different parameters is studied, followed by a classical benchmark problem of a flow around a rigid cylinder attached to a nonlinearly elastic bar inside a two-dimensional channel. Finally, we present a three-dimensional, simplified example of blood flow in a compliant artery.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The present article is dedicated to numerical methods for the simulation of the response of PWR fuel assemblies under external mechanical loading such as earthquakes. It proposes new algorithms to manage impact sequences within the time multiscale resolution of a strongly coupled fluid-structure partitioned problem. Preserving the computational efficiency imposes an adaptive strategy to adjust the time scale to force the solution of the costly pressure problem for the fluid only when it is necessary to account for the brutal variations in the structure acceleration resulting from significant impacts. The adaptation criteria must be built upon a thorough monitoring and characterization of all impacts, including the duration of the flight sequence before it occurs and the relative velocity between impact entities. Finally, solutions to mitigate the consequences of missed and unresolved impacts in time are provided to avoid spurious amplification of the variation of the acceleration under impact in the fluid velocity field through the time integration scheme. This leads to two classes of adaptive time multiscale algorithms, extensively tested and qualified through two chosen cases of growing complexity. The paper is completed by a full experimental validation of the proposed fluid-structure framework with contact and impacts, using the results available for a row of six fuel scale assembly immersed in water and submitted to a seismic excitation on a shaking table.
