The paper presents a fluid structure interaction based numerical study of impact loading for a hemispherical structure upon water and a space capsule water landing. The study has a strong relevance in the determination of the crashworthiness of aerospace structures upon water impact loading. Finite element based numerical techniques have been used for the analysis of the underlying transient dynamic and fluid-structure interaction. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and Arbitrary Lagrange-Eulerian (ALE) methods have been used to simulate the behaviour of the fluid (water) under impact conditions. The accelerations and velocities of the impacting objects have been validated with by experimental measurements and analytical results. Numerical analyses showed a strong potential for the use of developed computational fluid structure interaction models for analyses of water impact loading related problems.

This study was aimed at assessing the robustness of a fixed-grid fluid–structure interaction method (Multi-Material Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian) to modelling the two-dimensional native aortic valve dynamics and comparing it to the Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method. For the fixed-grid method, the explicit finite element solver LS-DYNA was utilized, where two independent meshes for the fluid and structure were generated and the penalty method was used to handle the coupling between the fluid and structure domains. For the Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method, the implicit finite element solver ADINA was used where two separate conforming meshes were used for the valve structure and the fluid domains. The comparison demonstrated that both fluid–structure interaction methods predicted accurately the valve dynamics, fluid flow, and stress distribution, implying that fixed-grid methods can be used in situations where the Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method fails.
