Parallel analyses about the dynamic responses of a large-scale water conveyance tunnel under seismic excitation are presented in this paper. A full three-dimensional numerical model considering the water-tunnel-soil coupling is established and adopted to investigate the tunnel’s dynamic responses. The movement and sloshing of the internal water are simulated using the multi-material Arbitrary L...

Fluid-structure interaction simulation presents many computational difficulties, particularly when the densities of the fluid and structure are close. A previous report [20] has suggested that recasting the FSI problem in the context of optimal control may significantly reduce computation time. This report introduces a Neumann type control along with detailed analysis for the stability and exis...

Coupled fluid–structure interaction (FSI) analysis of the human right coronary artery (RCA) has been carried out to investigate the effects of wall compliance on coronary hemodynamics. A 3-D model of a stenosed RCA was reconstructed based on multislice computerized tomography images. A velocity waveform in the proximal RCA and a pressure waveform in the distal RCA of a patient with a severe ste...

The integration and application of a new multi-objective tabu search optimization algorithm for Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) problems are presented. The aim is to enhance the computational design process for real world applications and to achieve higher performance of the whole system for the four considered objectives. The described system combines the optimizer with a well established FS...

Increasing age and cardiovascular diseases lead to stiffening of the vasculature. Knowledge about an individual’s arterial stiffness gives insights into current state system it is considered be a valuable diagnostic index. However, cannot measured directly. Numerical modelling based on measurements flow deformation in artery enable indirect means. Our research aims develop method estimate local...

For analyzing the flow field and topological structure of hemispherical parachute in low angles of attack, a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation technique is established to decide the shape of the hemispherical parachute during terminal descent. In the fluid simulation, the semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations consistent (SIMPLEC) algorithm is introduced to solve shear st...

In this paper, Fluid Structure Interaction analysis is conducted to simulate moving mechanism of discharge valve and predict a failure in discharge valve in reciprocating compressor. Moving mechanism of discharge valve, opening and closing, shows impact phenomenon owing to a high velocity correspond to valve motion. The cylinder pressure is successfully validated before conducting impact analys...

Stable partitioned algorithms for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems are developed and analyzed in this two-part paper. Part I describes an algorithm for incompressible flow coupled with compressible elastic solids, while Part II discusses an algorithm for incompressible flow coupled with structural shells. The numerical approach described here for structural shells uses Robin (mixed) i...

We discuss in this thesis the numerical approximation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems with a particular concern (albeit not exclusive) on hemodynamics applications. Firstly, we model the blood as an incompressible fluid and the artery wall as an elastic structure. To solve the coupled problem, we propose new semi-implicit algorithms based on inexact block-LU factorization of the l...
