A partitioned coupling algorithm is presented in this paper to solve the dynamic large-displacement fluid-structure interaction (DFSI) problems. In this algorithm, the program based on arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) and fractional two-step method is developed to calculate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational mesh dynamics (CMD). ABAQUS is used to calculate computational structure dynamics (CSD). Some user subroutines are implemented into ABAQUS and the data are exchanged among CSD, CFD and CMD. Numerical results including elephant foot bulging (EFB) of the liquid storage tank are obtained under dynamic waveform.

To large liquid storage tank, based on the potential flow theory, considering fluid-structure interaction, the potential-based elements and the shell elements are used to simulate the liquid and the tank, respectively. Using the displacement-velocity potential finite element method formulas, the seismic response analysis method of the liquid storage tank is obtained, and is implemented based on the ADINA program. Some useful conclusions of the tanks under the earthquake loadings are obtained through two examples, which provide the reference for the seismic design theory and the seismic performance, and provide the analysis approach for the damage behavior and loss assessment of liquid storage tank.

Ground-supported cylindrical tanks are used to store a variety of liquids. The fluid was develops a hydrodynamic pressures on walls and bottom of the tank during earthquake. This paper provides dynamic time-history response of concrete open top cylindrical liquid storage tank considering fluid-structure interaction due to earthquake. Numerical model of cylindrical tank was performed by application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) utilizing software ADINA. Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation was used for the problem analysis. Two way Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) techniques were used for the simulation of the interaction between the structure and the fluid at the common boundary

This paper provides a brief overview of the research in the field of Fluid-structure interaction in Wind Turbines. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is the interplay of some movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. Flow brought about vibrations of two airfoils used in wind turbine blades are investigated by using a strong coupled fluid shape interplay approach. The approach is based totally on a regularly occurring Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code that solves the Navier-Stokes equations defined in Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) coordinates by way of a finite extent method. The need for the FSI in the wind Turbine system is studied and comprehensively presented.

Abstract According to multi-node model, the dynamics equations of conical parachute system for simulating shape deformation process of the flexible canopy in the opening process were established. With the combination of dynamics equations code and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, the fluid-structure interaction investigation of the conical parachute was carried out. Also the change of parachute shape and flow field, inflation time, the rate of descent, the distance of descent, and other relevant data were achieved. This paper has focused on analysing vortex structure of the flow field in the opening process of conical parachute, and laid the foundation for studying mechanics mechanism of flow field variation of conical parachute in future.

AbstractAn important ingredient of any moving-mesh method for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems is the mesh moving technique (MMT) used to adapt the computational mesh in the moving fluid domain. An ideal MMT is computationally inexpensive, can handle large mesh motions without inverting mesh elements and can sustain an FSI simulation for extensive periods of time without irreversibly distorting the mesh. Here we compare several commonly used MMTs which are based on the solution of elliptic partial differential equations, including harmonic extension, bi-harmonic extension and techniques based on the equations of linear elasticity. Moreover, we propose a novel MMT which utilizes ideas from continuation methods to efficiently solve the equations of nonlinear elasticity and proves to be robust even when the mesh undergoes extreme motions. In addition to that, we study how each MMT behaves when combined with the mesh-Jacobian-based stiffening. Finally, we evaluate the performance of different MMTs on a popular two-dimensional FSI benchmark reproduced by using an isogeometric partitioned solver with strong coupling.

A monolithic semi-implicit method is presented for three-dimensional simulation of fluid–structure interaction problems. The updated Lagrangian framework is used for the structure modeled by linear elasticity equation and, for the fluid governed by the Navier–Stokes equations, we employ the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian method. We use a global mesh for the fluid–structure domain where the fluid–structure interface is an interior boundary. The continuity of velocity at the interface is automatically satisfied by using globally continuous finite element for the velocity in the fluid–structure mesh. The method is fast because we solve only a linear system at each time step. Three-dimensional numerical tests are presented.
