A Meshfree Method for Simulations of Interactions between Fluids and Flexible Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the application of a meshfree method for simulations of interaction between fluids and flexible structures. As a flexible structure we consider a sheet of paper. In a two-dimensional framework this sheet can be modeled as curve by the dynamical Kirchhoff-Love theory. The external forces taken into account are gravitation and the pressure difference between upper and lower surface of the sheet. This pressure difference is computed using the Finite Pointset Method (FPM) for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. FPM is a meshfree, Lagrangian particle method. The dynamics of the sheet are computed by a finite difference method. We show the suitability of the meshfree method for simulations of fluid-structure interaction in several applications.

A High-Velocity Impact Simulation using SPH-Projection Method
In this paper, a new smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm for simulation of elastic-plastic deformation of solids was proposed. The key point was that materials under highvelocity impact (HVI) behave like fluids. This led to propose a method which was similar to the socalled SPH-projection method, in which the momentum equations are solved as the governing equations. The method consi...
متن کاملVerification and Validation of Common Derivative Terms Approximation in Meshfree Numerical Scheme
In order to improve the approximation of spatial derivatives without meshes, a set of meshfree numerical schemes for derivative terms is developed, which is compatible with the coordinates of Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical. Based on the comparisons between numerical and theoretical solutions, errors and convergences are assessed by a posteriori method, which shows that the approximations...
متن کاملThree new scorpion chloride channel toxins as potential anti-cancer drugs: Computational prediction of the interactions with hMMP-2 by docking and Steered Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Scorpion venom is a rich source of toxins which have great potential to develop new therapeutic agents. Scorpion chloride channel toxins (ClTxs), such as Chlorotoxin selectively inhibit human Matrix Methaloproteinase-2 (hMMP-2). The inhibitors of hMMP-2 have potential use in cancer therapy. Three new ClTxs, meuCl14, meuCl15 and meuCl16, derived from the venom transcriptome of Iranian scorpion, ...

متن کاملMaximum-entropy meshfree method for nonlinear static analysis of planar reinforced concrete structures
A meshfree method for nonlinear analysis of two-dimensional reinforced concrete structures subjected to monotonic static loading is presented. The concrete model is implemented in the context of the smeared rotating crack approach. The stress-strain relationship for steel bars accounts for the surrounding concrete bonded to the bar (tension stiffening effect). The principle of virtual work (var...
