The paper considers the analysis of a traveling panel, submerged in axially flowing fluid. In order to accurately model the dynamics and stability of a lightweight moving material, the interaction between the material and the surrounding air must be taken into account. The lightweight material leads to the inertial contribution of the surrounding air to the acceleration of the panel becoming significant. This formulation is novel and the case complements our previous studies on the field. The approach described in this paper allows for an efficient semi-analytical solution, where the reaction pressure of the fluid flow is analytically represented by an added-mass model in terms of the panel displacement. Then, the panel displacement, accounting also for the fluid–structure interaction, is analyzed with the help of the weak form of the governing partial differential equation, using a Galerkin method. In the first part of this paper, we represent the traveling panel by a single partial differential equation in weak form, using an added-mass approximation of the exact fluid reaction. In the second part, we apply a Galerkin method for dynamic stability analysis of the panel, and present an analytical investigation of static stability loss (divergence, buckling) based on the added-mass model.

In this work, we consider the hyperbolic equations to determine the approximate solutions via Sinc-Galerkin Method (SGM). Without any numerical integration, the partial differential equation transformed to an algebraic equation system. For the numerical calculations, Maple is used. Several numerical examples are investigated and the results determined from the method are compared with the exact solutions. The results are illustrated both in the table and graphically.

Characteristics of natural frequencies of an impeller and an equivalent disc were investigated in high-density gas to develop a method for predicting natural frequencies of centrifugal compressor impellers for high-density gas applications. The equivalent disc had outer and inner diameters equal to those of the impeller. We expected that natural frequencies would decrease with increasing the gas density because of the added-mass effect. However, we found experimentally that some natural frequencies of the impeller and the disc in high-density gas decreased but others increased. Moreover, we observed, under high-density condition, some resonance frequencies that we did not observe under low-density condition. These experimental results cannot be explained by only the added-mass effect. For simplicity, we focused on the disc to understand the mechanism of the behavior of natural frequencies. We developed a theoretical analysis of fluid-structure interaction considering not only the mass but also stiffness of gas. The analysis gave a qualitative explanation of the experimental results. In addition, we carried out a fluid-structure interaction analysis using the finite element method. The behavior of natural frequencies of the disc in high-density gas was predicted with errors less than 6%.

Some numerical approaches to solve fluid structure interaction problems in blood flow are reviewed. Fluid structure interaction is the interaction between a deformable structure with either an internal or external flow. A discussion on why the compliant artery associated with fluid structure interaction should be taken into consideration in favor of the rigid wall model being included. However, only the Newtonian model of blood is assumed, while various structure models which include, amongst others, generalized string models and linearly viscoelastic Koiter shell model that give a more realistic representation of the vessel walls compared to the rigid structure are presented. Since there exists a strong added mass effect due to the comparable densities of blood and the vessel wall, the numerical approaches to overcome the added mass effect are discussed according to the partitioned and monolithic classifications, where the deficiencies of each approach are highlighted. Improved numerical methods which are more stable and offer less computational cost such as the semi-implicit, kinematic splitting, and the geometrical multiscale approach are summarized, and, finally, an appropriate structure and numerical scheme to tackle fluid structure interaction problems are proposed.

Structure Interaction

The present paper deals with the modal analysis of a nuclear reactor with fluid-structure interaction effects. The proposed study aims at describing various fluid-structure interaction effects using several numerical approaches. The modeling lies on a classical finite element discretization of the coupled fluid-structure equation, enabling the description of added mass and added stiffness effects. A specific procedure is developed in order to model the presence of internal structures within the nuclear reactor, based on periodical homogenization techniques. The numerical model of the nuclear pressure vessel is developed in a finite element code in which the homogenization method is implemented. The proposed methodology enables a convenient analysis from the engineering point of view and gives an example of the fluid-structure interaction effects, which are expected on an industrial structure. The modal analysis of the nuclear pressure vessel is then performed and highlights of the relative importance of FSI effects for the industrial case are evaluated: the analysis shows that added mass effects and confinement effects are of paramount importance in comparison to added stiffness effects.
