The aim of this paper is to evaluate how much affects the presence of gravity and free-surface to a flexible structure in a classical fluid structure interaction (FSI) problem typically found in off-shore problems and other oceanic applications. The base problem selected is the Turek benchmark case where a deformable plate is attached to the wake of a circular cylinder. To focus on the differences of considering free surface, a simple geometry has been selected and two different situations have been studied: the first one is the classical Turek benchmark, the second is a similar geometry but adding gravity and free surface. The free surface problem was studied placing the structure at different depths and monitoring the deformation and forces on the structure.

Sph Algorithm

Simulation of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and free surface flows includes an area of extremely challenging problems in the computational mechanics community. In this paper, a newly proposed SPH algorithm is employed to simulate FSI problems with complex free surface flows. In this way, fluid and elastic structure continua are coupled using a monolithic but explicit numerical scheme. The proposed method is similar to so-called SPH projection method and consists of three steps. The first two steps play the role of prediction, while in the third step a Poisson equation is used for both fluid and structure to impose incompressibility constraint.
