Axial Pump

Current studies on the operation of the axial pump mainly focus on hydraulic performances, while the coupled interaction between the fluid and structure attracts little attention. This study aims to provide numerical investigation into the vibration features in a vertical axial pump based on two-way iterative fluid–structure interaction method. Three-dimensional coupling model was established with high-quality structured grids of ADINA software. Turbulent flow features were studied under design condition, using shear–stress transport k-ω turbulence model and sliding mesh approach. Typical measure points along and perpendicular to flow direction in fluid domain were selected to analyze pressure pulsation features of the impeller and fixed guide vane. By contrast, vibration features of equivalent stress in corresponding structural positions were investigated and compared based on fluid–structure interaction method. In order to explore fluid–structure interaction vibration mechanism, distribution of main frequencies and amplitudes of the measure points was presented based on the Fast Fourier Transformation method. The results reveal the time and frequency law of fluid pressure pulsation and structural vibration at the same position in the vertical axial pump while additionally provide important theoretical guidance for optimization design and safe operation of the vertical axial pump.

In this paper the fluid structure interaction in stentless aortic heart valve during acceleration phase was performed successfully using the commercial ANSYS/CFX package. The aim is to provide unidirectional coupling FSI analysis of physiological blood flow within an anatomically corrected numerical model of stentless aortic valve. Pulsatile, Newtonian, and turbulent blood flow rheology at aortic level was applied to fluid domain. The proposed structural prosthesis had a novel multi thickness leaflet design decreased from aortic root down to free age surface. An appropriate interpolation scheme used to import the fluid pressure on the structure at their interface. The prosthesis deformations over the acceleration time showed bending dominant characteristic at early stages of the cardiac cycle. More stretching and flattening observed in the rest of the times steps. The multi axial Von Mises stress data analysis was validated with experimental data which confirmed the initial design of the prosthesis.

Design And Manufacturing

In the design and manufacturing process of the hydrodynamic coupling, the fluid pressure on the impeller is difficult to calculate when analyzing the strength of the impeller. We can use the one-way fluid-structure interaction analysis. When interpolate the pressure on the flow field and structural coordinate values, choosing reasonable interpolation method can reduce the amount of computation, improve accuracy, simplify product design and manufacturing process. This article is based on one-way fluid-structure interaction analysis. We compare the four interpolation method in MATLAB, conclude that the spline interpolation is better than others. It is the most suitable for practical applications, which can simplify the design of the manufacturing process of the hydrodynamic coupling.

Nonisothermal Fluid

In this paper, a nonisothermal fluid-structure interaction mathematical model for the piston/cylinder interface leakage is presented. Full account is taken of the piston eccentricity, elastic deformations of the piston pair, the nonisothermal flow in the interface, and the physical properties of the fluid such as the pressure-viscosity and temperature-viscosity effects. The numerical method for the solution of the model is given, which can simultaneously solve for the fluid pressure distribution and leakage rate in the interface. The model is validated by comparing the calculated leakage rates with the measurements. Results show the good accuracy of the model. The impacts of parameters such as the piston diameter, the initial clearance between the piston pair, and the piston velocity on the leakage rate are discussed. Some of the conclusions provide good guidance for the design of high-pressure fuel pumps.
