AbstractThe paper introduces a finite element method for the Navier-Stokes equations of incompressible viscous fluid in a time-dependent domain. The method is based on a quasi-Lagrangian formulation of the problem and handling the geometry in a time-explicit way. We prove that numerical solution satisfies a discrete analogue of the fundamental energy estimate. This stability estimate does not require a CFL time-step restriction. The method is further applied to simulation of a flow in a model of the left ventricle of a human heart, where the ventricle wall dynamics is reconstructed from a sequence of contrast enhanced Computed Tomography images.

A novel procedure for large deformation nonstationary random response computation of shell structures with spatial uncertainty is presented. The procedure is free from the limitations associated with those employing perturbation approximation techniques, such as the so-called stochastic finite element method and probabilistic finite element method, for systems with spatial uncertainties. In addition, the procedure has several important and excellent features. Chief among these are: (a) ability to deal with large deformation problems of finite strain and finite rotation; (b) application of explicit linear and nonlinear element stiffness matrices, mass matrix, and load vectors reduces computation time drastically; (c) application of the averaged deterministic central difference scheme for the updating of co-ordinates and element matrices at every time step makes it extremely efficient compared with those employing the Monte Carlo simulation and the conventional central difference algorithm; and (d) application of the time co-ordinate transformation enables one to study highly stiff structural systems.

By use of an implicit iteration technique, the finite-element method applied to the heat-conduction problems of solids is no longer restricted to the linear heat-flux boundary conditions, but is extended to include nonlinear radiation–convection boundary conditions. The variation of surface temperatures within each time increment is taken into account; hence a rather large time-step size can be assigned to obtain transient heat-conduction solutions without introducing instability in the surface temperature of a body.

A nonlinear sloshing problem in LNG tanker is numerically simulated. During excessive sloshing, the sloshing-induced impact load can cause a critical damage on the tank structure. Recently, this problem became one of important issues in FPSO design. A three-dimensional free surface flow in a tank is formulated in the scope of potential flow theory. The exact nonlinear free surface condition is satisfied numerically. A finite-element method based on Hamilton’s principle is employed as a numerical scheme. The problem is treated as an initial-value problem. The computations are made through an iterative method at each time step. The hydrodynamic loading on the pillar in the tank is computed and compared with other results.
