fluid-structure interaction (FSI) study is of great importance to understand the hydrodynamic coupling of biological swimmers in surrounding environmental domain. Multiple numerical and experimental studies have taken place to capture the behavioral pattern from the environment, explore the physical phenomena and comprehension of dynamics to make contribution in real life applications. In this study, an immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) for fluid-structure interaction problems is presented. The impact of solid structure on to the surrounding fluid domain is dealt with by immersed boundary method (IBM), where the structure is assumed to be immersed into surrounding fluid and the effect of the immersed boundary are considered by exertion of Lagrangian force onto the surrounding fluid grid points as body force. The flow dynamics is determined by solving discrete lattice Boltzmann equation of a single relaxation time model. The structural dynamics are solved by the finite difference method. For solving the structural dynamics, inextensibility condition was applied. A staggered grid is used in the Lagrangian coordinate system, where tension force is defined on the interfaces (half-grids) and other variables are defined on the nodes. Tension force is calculated at the intermediate steps and used as inextensibility constraint to obtain filament position at the next time step. In the present study, a detailed derivation and corresponding discretization is done for multiple free-swimming cases for a thin flexible filament. The thin flexible filament is actuated by imposing oscillatory heaving and pitching motion at the leading edge with prescribed control parameters. The flow physics of the system is investigated and pressure on the surfaces of the flexible filament is obtained. The results obtained in this study shows consistency with previous publications. The presented computational modelling may be used in future with multiple obstacles in the domain, t

fluid-structure interaction is ubiquitous in nature and occurs at all biological scales. Immersed methods provide mathematical and computational frameworks for modeling fluid-structure systems. These methods, which typically use an Eulerian description of the fluid and a Lagrangian description of the structure, can treat thin immersed boundaries and volumetric bodies, and they can model structures that are flexible or rigid or that move with prescribed deformational kinematics. Immersed formulations do not require body-fitted discretizations and thereby avoid the frequent grid regeneration that can otherwise be required for models involving large deformations and displacements. This article reviews immersed methods for both elastic structures and structures with prescribed kinematics. It considers formulations using integral operators to connect the Eulerian and Lagrangian frames and methods that directly apply jump conditions along fluid-structure interfaces. Benchmark problems demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods, and selected applications at Reynolds numbers up to approximately 20,000 highlight their impact in biological and biomedical modeling and simulation.

The static performances of the aerostatic guideway are significantly influenced by the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) effect. This paper investigates the FSI process between the air film and two-stage cantilever structure of the slider based on a two-way transient FSI model, in which the thickness and shape of actual air film can be acquired. Moreover, the stiffness of the aerostatic guideway system with two different materials 38CrMoAl nitriding steel and 7075 aluminum alloy, is investigated numerically and compared experimentally. It proves that the structural rigidity of the slider has a non-negligible impact on the stiffness of the aerostatic guideway system. The inner mechanism of this phenomenon is further discussed to provide meaningful guidance for the design of the aerostatic guideway system.

The numerical simulation of interaction between structures and two-phase flows is a major concern for many industrial applications. Using a discrete forcing method (see the work of Benguigui et al) (implemented in a multiphase CFD code based on a two-fluid approach) to track the solid motion in two-phase flow, an iterative fluid-structure coupling is developed to allow free-motion of multiple solids (with any kind of geometry) due to two-phase fluid forces. As the fluid-structure interface is located thanks to a time and space dependent porosity on a cartesian grid, the fluid force computation is accommodated to the interface tracking method. A Newmark algorithm is used to estimate the solid motion. The iterative coupling is addressed in detail going from the algorithm to the determination of its convergence parameter. Three application cases are proposed to validate the method from motion under a single- to a two-phase flow.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the fluidstructureinteraction analysis of conjugate natural convection in a square containing internal solid cylinder and flexible right wall. Design/methodology/approach The right wall of the cavity is flexible, which can be deformed due to the interaction with the natural convection flow in the cavity. The top and bottom walls of the cavity are insulated while the right wall is cold and the left wall is partially heated. The governing equations for heat, flow and elastic wall, as well as the grid deformation are written in Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation. The governing equations along with their boundary conditions are solved using the finite element method. Findings The results of the present study show that the presence of the solid cylinder strongly affects the transient solution at the initial times. The natural convection flow changes the shape of the flexible right wall of the cavity into S shape wall due to the interaction of the flow and the structure. It is found that the increase of the flexibility of the right wall increases the average Nusselt number of the hot wall up to 2 per cent. Originality/value To the best of the authors' knowledge, the unsteady natural convection in an enclosure having a flexible wall and inner solid cylinder has never been reported before.

We consider a fluid-structure interaction model for an incompressible fluid where the elastic response of the free boundary is given by a damped Kirchhoff plate model. Utilizing the Newton polygon approach, we first prove maximal regularity in L-p-Sobolev spaces for a linearized version. Based on this, we show existence and uniqueness of the strong solution of the nonlinear system for small data.

Flapping wings deform under both aerodynamic and inertial forces. However, many flapping wing fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models require significant computational resources which limit their effectiveness for high-dimensional parametric studies. Here, we present a simple bilaterally coupled FSI model for a wing subject to single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) flapping. The model is reduced-order and can be solved several orders of magnitude faster than direct computational methods. To verify the model experimentally, we construct a SDOF rotation stage and measure basal strain of a flapping wing in-air and in-vacuum. Overall, the derived model estimates wing strain with good accuracy. In-vacuum, the wing has a large 3 omega response when flapping at approximately one-third of its natural frequency due to a superharmonic resonance, where the superharmonic occurs due to the interaction of inertial forces and time-varying centrifugal softening. In-air, this 3 omega response is attenuated significantly as a result of aerodynamic damping, whereas the primary omega response is increased due to aerodynamic loading. These results highlight the importance of (1) bilateral coupling between the fluid and structure, since unilaterally coupled approaches do not adequately describe deformation-induced aerodynamic damping and (2) time-varying stiffness, which generates superharmonics of the flapping frequency in the wing's dynamic response. The simple SDOF model and experimental study presented in this work demonstrate the potential for a reduced-order FSI model that considers both bilateral fluid-structure coupling and realistic multi-degrees-of-freedom flapping kinematics moving forward.

Shape optimization via the method of mappings is investigated for unsteady fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems that couple the Navier-Stokes equations and the Lame system. Building on recent existence and regularity theory we prove Frechet differentiability results for the state with respect to domain variations. These results form an analytical foundation for optimization und inverse problems governed by FSI systems. Our analysis develops a general framework for deriving local-in-time continuity and differentiability results for parameter dependent nonlinear systems of partial differential equations. The main part of the paper is devoted to conducting this analysis for the FSI problem, transformed to a shape reference domain. The underlying shape transformation-actually we work with the corresponding shape displacement instead-represents the shape and the main result proves the Frechet differentiability of the solution of the FSI system with respect to the shape transformation.

The improved coupled finite element material point (ICFEMP) method is an effective way to deal with fluid-structure interaction problems. However, the FEM-MPM contact algorithm employed in ICFEMP suffers from the contact penetration problem which limits its application in engineering. In this paper, the reason leading to the penetration phenomenon is revealed. The singularity of the normal vector of two adjacent surfaces makes the contact position not well-defined around at the joint line, so that particles near the joint line may penetrate the contact surface. An improved local search method is proposed in this paper to eliminate the penetration. In addition, an iterative process for imposing contact forces is proposed as well to overcome the difficulty that contact conditions can hardly be satisfied simultaneously for all contact pairs caused by the interaction among them. Numerical results illustrate that the proposed contact algorithm thoroughly eliminates the penetration phenomenon even in complex engineering problem such as the airbag simulation.
