A boundary element approach is developed for problems of hot fluid-structure interaction. The structure is idealized as a thermoelastic solid, and a time-domain, boundary-only integral formulation is described. Meanwhile, several approaches are discussed for the hot fluid. Integral equations are developed for both compressible and incompressible thermoviscous flow. Due to the presence of nonlinear convective terms in the governing differential equations, domain discretization is generally required. However, with the introduction of reference velocities, volume modeling often can be confined to regions near obstacles and walls. All formulations are implemented for two-dimensional problems in GP-BEST, a general purpose boundary element computer program. An overview of this numerical implementation is provided, along with several illustrative examples. The present fluid formulations are appropriate in the low to medium Reynolds number ranges; however, some enhancements required for higher speed simulations are noted.

Abstract A double asymptotic approximation based finite element-cum-boundary element approach for fluid-structure interaction problems is being proposed. In particular a staggered solution scheme has been applied to the analysis of various coupled fluid-structure systems. A stabilization scheme by reformulation, proposed by DeRuntz et al. was employed to circumvent the instability problem. In addition, the singularity in the excitation term was eliminated through a variable transformation as suggested by Everstine. Another feature of the present work is its incorporation of the hybrid strain based lower order triangular shell finite element developed by To and Liu. The eigenvalue solution exhibits high convergence rate for the particular shell finite element employed. The responses calculated exhibit the effectiveness of the proposed approach with application of the aforementioned shell finite element in dealing with three dimensional fluid-structure interaction problems. The reduction in problem size that this approach affords allows these complex interaction problems to be dealt with in a desktop engineering workstation environment, as opposed to the mainframe and supercomputer arenas where they have been implemented in the past.

A quasi-Eulerian formulation is developed for fluid-structure interaction analysis in which the fluid nodes are allowed to move independent of the material thus facilitating the treatment of problems with large structural motions. The governing equations are presented in general form and then specialized to two-dimensional plane and axisymmetric geometries. These elements have been incorporated in a general purpose transient finite element program and results are presented for two problems and compared to experimental results.
