Fluidstructure Interaction

With the development of drilling technology, rotary drillstring not only produces random multi-directional collisions with the inner wall of pipe, also couples with the inner and outer annular fluids. This results in a complex system of nonlinear fluid-structure interaction. In the paper, structure and mode of operation about rotary drillstring are considered, the equations of the structure dynamics, fluid equation of continuity and momentum equation are coupled. The three-dimensional numerical model and computational method is established about the fluidstructure interaction dynamic analysis of rotary drillstring. Take the rotary drillstring and inner and outer fluids as a research object, dynamic analysis of the rotary drillstring is finished, considering the fluid-structure coupled characteristics and compare the air medium, the results show the effect of fluidstructure interaction. It can provide the feasible method for the study of the string in the oil drilling and production engineering and conduct the development of drillstring dynamics in horizontal well drilling engineering.

Structure Problem

The present paper deals with the dynamic analysis of a steam generator tube bundle with fluid-structure interaction modelling. As the coupled fluid-structure problem involves a huge number of degrees of freedom to account for the tube displacements and the fluid pressure evolutions, classical coupled methods can not be applied for industrial studies. In the present case, the three-dimensional fluid-structure problem is solved with an homogenisation method, which has been previously exposed and successfully validated on a two-dimensional elementary tube bundle (J.F. Sigrist, D. Broc; Investigation of Numerical Methods for Modal Analysis of Tube Bundle with Fluid-Structure Interaction; Pressure Vessel and Piping, San Antonio, 22–26 July 2007). Formulation of the homogenisation method for general three-dimensional cases is exposed in the paper. Application to a simplified (however representative of an actual industrial nuclear component) steam generator is proposed. The problem modelling, which includes tube bundle, primary and secondary fluids and pressure vessel, is performed with an engineering finite element code in which the homogenisation technique has been implemented. From the practical point of view, the analysis highlights the major fluid-structure interaction effects on the dynamic behaviour of the steam generator; from the theoretical point of view, the study demonstrates the efficiency of the homogenisation method for periodic fluid-structure problems modelling.

Structure Interaction

The present paper deals with the dynamic analysis of a tube bundle with Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) modeling using a structural acoustic homogenized method. Such a coupled problem leads to many degrees of freedom [a system of very large matrices] to compute tube displacements and pressure in the acoustic domain, it is therefore irrelevant to use standard coupled methods in industrial cases. Instead, specific modelings have to be used, such as structural acoustic homogenized method. Implementation and applications of such a technique within the general finite element code ABAQUS are performed using the so-called UEL Fortran subroutine. Firstly, general theoretical aspects on the homogenized method proposed by Broc & Sigrist are revisited. Then, subroutines developments are validated comparing results from the homogenized method to those of a standard approach on the representative case of a 10×10 tube bundle in two-dimensional and three-dimensional configurations subjected to seismic loadings. Results show that: (i) homogenized elements can easily be used as standard elements from the ABAQUS elements library, (ii) the homogenized approach is accurate on a physical point of view and (iii) considerably reduces modeling effort and computational time compared to a standard structural acoustic method.

Comparison Of The Results

Background and objectives: Fluid structure interaction (FSI) is defined as interaction of the structures with contacting fluids. The aortic valve experiences the interaction with blood flow in systolic phase. In this study, we have tried to predict the hemodynamics of blood flow through a normal and stenotic aortic valve in two relaxation and exercise conditions using a three-dimensional FSI method. Methods: The aorta valve was modeled as a three-dimensional geometry including a normal model and two others with 25% and 50% stenosis. The geometry of the aortic valve was extracted from CT images and the models were generated by MMIMCS software and then they were implemented in ANSYS software. The pulsatile flow rate was used for all cases and the numerical simulations were conducted based on a time-dependent domain. Results: The obtained results including the velocity, pressure, and shear stress contours in different systolic time sequences were explained and discussed. The maximum blood flow velocity in relaxation phase was obtained 1.62 m/s (normal valve), 3.78 m/s (25% stenosed valve), and 4.73 m/s (50% stenosed valve). In exercise condition, the maximum velocities are 2.86, 4.32, and 5.42 m/s respectively. The maximum blood pressure in relaxation phase was calculated 111.45 mmHg (normal), 148.66 mmHg (25% stenosed), and 164.21 mmHg (50% stenosed). However, the calculated values in exercise situation were 129.57, 163.58, and 191.26 mmHg. The validation of the predicted results was also conducted using existing literature. Conclusions: We believe that such model are useful tools for biomechanical experts. The further studies should be done using experimental data and the data are implemented on the boundary conditions for better comparison of the results.

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems are computationally very challenging. In this paper we consider the monolithic approach for solving the fully coupled FSI problem. Most existing techniques, such as multigrid methods, do not work well for the coupled system since the system consists of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic components all together. Other approaches based on direct solvers do not scale to large numbers of processors. In this paper, we introduce a multilevel unstructured mesh Schwarz preconditioned Newton–Krylov method for the implicitly discretized, fully coupled system of partial differential equations consisting of incompressible Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid flows and the linear elasticity equation for the structure. Several meshes are required to make the solution algorithm scalable. This includes a fine mesh to guarantee the solution accuracy, and a few isogeometric coarse meshes to speed up the convergence. Special attention is paid when constructing and partitioning the preconditioning meshes so that the communication cost is minimized when the number of processor cores is large. We show numerically that the proposed algorithm is highly scalable in terms of the number of iterations and the total compute time on a supercomputer with more than 10,000 processor cores for monolithically coupled three-dimensional FSI problems with hundreds of millions of unknowns.

Hydroelastic Response

The present study is concerned with the numerical simulation of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) on a deformable three-dimensional hydrofoil in a turbulent flow. The aim of this work is to develop a strongly coupled two-way fluid-structure interaction methodology with a sufficiently high spatial accuracy to examine the effect of turbulent and cavitating flow on the hydroelastic response of a flexible hydrofoil. A 3-D cantilevered hydrofoil with two degrees-of-freedom is considered to simulate the plunging and pitching motion at the foil tip due to bending and twisting deformation. The defined problem is numerically investigated by coupled Finite Volume Method (FVM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) under a two-way coupling method. In order to find a better understanding of the dynamic FSI response and stability of flexible lifting bodies, the fluid flow is modeled in the different turbulence models and cavitation conditions. The flow-induced deformation and elastic response of both rigid and flexible hydrofoils at various angles of attack are studied. The effect of three-dimension body, pressure coefficient at different locations of the hydrofoil, leading-edge and trailing-edge deformation are presented and the results show that because of elastic deformation, the angle of attack increases and it lead to higher lift and drag coefficients. In addition, the deformations are generally limited by stall condition and because of unsteady vortex shedding, the post-stall condition should be considered in FSI simulation of deformable hydrofoil. To evaluate the accuracy of the numerical model, the present results are compared and validated against published experimental data and showed good agreement.
