According to the real structure and work condition of a large-scale gas control valve used in recycling generating electricity project, a sequential fluid-structure interaction system model of control valve is set up, the coupling of fluid and valve plug is studied. The complicated fluid pressure, stress and deformation of balanced valve plug and stem at different control valve openings are investigated. The root cause of plug vibration by fluid is revealed. The natural frequency and modes of vibration are obtained, which could verify whether the design overcomes resonance. All of these are in favor of realizing design optimization in fluid-structure interaction and are of great practical significance for advancing study on large-scale control valves.

According to the real structure and work condition of a large-scale gas control valve used in recycling generating electricity project, a modal analysis modeling of fluid-structure interaction system is set up and the vibration in fluid-structure interaction is studied. The fluid force on the valve plug when the control valve at different openings is analyzed. According to the modal computing of the plug in fluid environment, the vibration frequencies of the plug are obtained. The influence on vibration frequency of fluid-structure interaction is showed, which relate to vibration modal of plug. The change of plug frequency at coupling and uncoupling condition is investigated. All of these are in favor of vibration characteristic analysis, vibration fault diagnosis of control valve system and realizing design optimization in plug dynamic characteristics. These are of great practical significance for advancing study on large-scale control valves.

Abstract Analysis of a nonlinear friction damping mechanism in a fluid-structure interaction system is performed by combining a generalized averaging procedure with a recently developed identification algorithm based on the Hilbert transform. The system considered includes a nonlinear restoring force and a nonlinear dissipation force incorporating both viscous and structural damping. Frequency and damping response backbone curves obtained from simulated data are compared with analytical and approximate solutions and are found to be accurate. An example large scale experiment exhibiting viscous and Coulomb damping is also analyzed resulting in identification of system parameters.

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.

We consider a dam-water system modeled as a fluid-structure interaction, specifically, a coupled hyperbolic second-order problem, formulated in terms of the displacement of the structure and the fluid pressure. Firstly, we investigate the well posedness of the corresponding variational formulation using Galerkin approximations, energy estimates, and mollification. Then, we apply the finite element method along with the state-space representation of the discrete problem in order to perform a 3D numerical simulation of Cabril arch dam (Zêzere river, Portugal). The numerical model is validated by comparison with available experimental data from a monitoring vibration system installed in Cabril dam.
