Seamless pipes are produced using piercing rolling process in which round bars are fed between two rolls and pierced by stationary plug. During this process, the material undergoes severe deformation which renders it impractical to perform the numerical simulations with conventional finite element methods. In this paper, three dimensional numerical simulations of the piercing process are performed with Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) Method using Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) Formulation with LS DYNA software. The results of numerical simulations agree with experimental data of Plasticine workpiece and the validity of the analysis method is confirmed.

The paper deals with an implicit partitioned solution approach for the numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems. The solution procedure involves the finite-volume flow solver FASTEST, the finite-element structural solver FEAP, and the coupling interface MpCCI. The method is verified and validated by comparisons with benchmark results and experimental data. Investigations concerning the influence of the grid movement technique and an underrelaxation on the performance of the method are presented.

Flow-induced vibration (FIV) is one of the main reasons for subsea piping failure, where subsea pipes, which typically carry multiphase flow, experience large fluctuating forces. These fluctuating forces can induce severe vibrations leading to premature piping failure. This paper presents a transient numerical study of a typical subsea M-shape jumper pipe that is carrying a gas-liquid multiphase flow subject to a slug frequency of 4.4 Hz, starting from rest to include the start-up effect as part of the study. 3-D numerical simulations were used to capture the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and estimate pipe deformations due to fluctuating hydrodynamic forces. In this paper, two FSI approaches were used to compute the pipe deformations, two-way coupled and one-way decoupled. Analysis of the results showed that decoupled (one-way) FSI approach overestimated the peak pipe deformation by about 100%, and showed faster decay of fluctuations than coupled (two-way) FSI analysis. The assessment of resonant risk due to FIV is also discussed.

Numerical simulations of blood flow and myocardium motion for an average canine left ventricle (LV) with fluid-structure interaction were performed. The temporal variations of the LV cavity pressure and wall stress during the cardiac cycle were consistent with previous literature. LV cavity volume was conserved from one period to the next, despite sub-physiological ejection volumes and brief periods of backflow during early filling. This study improves on previous ones by presenting details of the models and results for both the fluid and solid components of the LV.

Nasal administration of the vaccine is in the spotlight and the medicine has been developed in recent years. The medication is carried out by spraying the medicine in the nasal cavity by collunarium container. The top nozzle part of a common collunarium container consists of three parts, nozzle tip having an exit, cylindrical nozzle, and stepped center rod which is inserted into the nozzle. We confirmed that the spray of collunarium container consists of two stages phenomena (initial jet and its disintegration, and steady spray stage) by visualization with high-speed video camera. Since we found that the initial jet impacted with larger droplet size than later sprayed droplet, we examined the initial jet and steady spray stage in experiments and numerical simulations to study the effect of material and dimension of the rod. The dimensions of the center rod affected the acceleration of the initial jet front and the spray angle in experiments. In numerical simulations including fluid-structure interaction (FSI), lower density rod moved at faster speed and excited higher flow velocity at the exit in the jet stage. Moreover we confirmed that the acceleration of the jet was initiated by the water hammer wave propagation inside the nozzle.

Flow-induced vibration of hydrofoils affects pressure pulsations on their surfaces and influences cavitation inception and desinence. As these pulsations depend on the hydrofoil material, cavitation inception and desinence numbers for hydrofoils of the same shape made from different metals can be substantially different. This conclusion is based on the comparison of the multistep numerical analysis of fluid–structure interaction for hydrofoils Cav2003 with earlier obtained experimental data for them. The material impact on cavitation must be taken into account in future experiments.
