Abstract Analysis of a nonlinear friction damping mechanism in a fluid-structure interaction system is performed by combining a generalized averaging procedure with a recently developed identification algorithm based on the Hilbert transform. The system considered includes a nonlinear restoring force and a nonlinear dissipation force incorporating both viscous and structural damping. Frequency and damping response backbone curves obtained from simulated data are compared with analytical and approximate solutions and are found to be accurate. An example large scale experiment exhibiting viscous and Coulomb damping is also analyzed resulting in identification of system parameters.

According to the real structure and work condition of a large-scale gas control valve used in recycling generating electricity project, a modal analysis modeling of fluid-structure interaction system is set up and the vibration in fluid-structure interaction is studied. The fluid force on the valve plug when the control valve at different openings is analyzed. According to the modal computing of the plug in fluid environment, the vibration frequencies of the plug are obtained. The influence on vibration frequency of fluid-structure interaction is showed, which relate to vibration modal of plug. The change of plug frequency at coupling and uncoupling condition is investigated. All of these are in favor of vibration characteristic analysis, vibration fault diagnosis of control valve system and realizing design optimization in plug dynamic characteristics. These are of great practical significance for advancing study on large-scale control valves.

According to the real structure and work condition of a large-scale gas control valve used in recycling generating electricity project, a sequential fluid-structure interaction system model of control valve is set up, the coupling of fluid and valve plug is studied. The complicated fluid pressure, stress and deformation of balanced valve plug and stem at different control valve openings are investigated. The root cause of plug vibration by fluid is revealed. The natural frequency and modes of vibration are obtained, which could verify whether the design overcomes resonance. All of these are in favor of realizing design optimization in fluid-structure interaction and are of great practical significance for advancing study on large-scale control valves.

Theoretical resonance curves prove that a structure’s resonance can facilitate liquid sloshing even when the internal resonance ratio is one-to-one. An investigation of nonlinear sloshing liquid vibrations in a rectangular tank supported by an elastic structure that is subjected to a vertical and sinusoidal excitation reveals that liquid sloshing occurs when the structure’s natural frequency is approximately equal to the natural frequency of sloshing, that is, in the state of one-to-one internal resonance, and that amplitude-modulated motions appear when the condition of the internal resonance deviates to some extent. A special consideration of the nonlinear inertia effects of liquid force and the use of Galerkin’s method help derive the differential (modal) equations governing the dynamic behaviors of the fluid-structure interaction system, while van der Pol’s method helps express the theoretical resonance curves. These theoretical results are in quantitative agreement with the experimental data.

This paper describes large-scale simulations of compressible flows over a supersonic disk-gap-band parachute system. An adaptive mesh refinement method is used to resolve the coupled fluid-structure model. The fluid model employs large-eddy simulation to describe the turbulent wakes appearing upstream and downstream of the parachute canopy and the structural model employed a thin-shell finite element solver that allows large canopy deformations by using subdivision finite elements. The fluid-structure interaction is described by a variant of the Ghost-Fluid method. The simulation was carried out at Mach number 1.96 where strong nonlinear coupling between the system of bow shocks, turbulent wake and canopy is observed. It was found that the canopy oscillations were characterized by a breathing type motion due to the strong interaction of the turbulent wake and bow shock upstream of the flexible canopy.
