Simulation of a Cantilevered Thin-Elastic Plate with Large Deformation Subjected to Axial Flow
The instability and dynamics behavior of a cantilevered thin-elastic plate with large deformation subjected to axial flow is studied numerically. The structural dynamics equation is discretized by isoparametric displacement-based finite, and the motion of a continuous fluid domain is governed by two-dimensional incompressible viscous Navier-Stokes equations, which discretized by finite volume method. The two-dimensional numerical model of two-way fluid-structure coupling is established combined with moving mesh technology, realizing the interaction of thin-elastic plate and axial fluid. Firstly, under given different flow velocity, the stability of limit-cycle oscillations has been studied through Hopf bifurcation, time trace, vibration responses. Secondly, the fluid domain features are analyzed qualitatively by separately comparing with vorticity under given different flow velocity, and cloud diagram of pressure and velocity are also analyzed at U=3.6m/s.
