Numerical difficulties are present in the particle finite element method even though it has been shown to be a powerful and effective approach to simulating fluid-structure interaction. To overcome problems of mass loss on the free surface and the added-mass effect, an improved fractional step method (FSM) that handles addedmass terms in a mathematically exact way is developed. A further benefi...

The development of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software involves trade-offs between ease of use, generality, performance, and cost. Typically there are large learning curves when using low-level software to model the interaction of an elastic structure immersed in a uniform density fluid. Many existing codes are not publicly available, and the commercial software that exists usually requi...

The article investigates the numeric simulation of two-way aeroelastic processes applied to the experimental phase of a compressor; physical, mathematical, rigid and grid models of the system “gas – rotor – stator” have been worked out; 2 FSI (two-way Fluid-Structure Interaction) calculations have been performed on the evaluation of the interaction between a gas-dynamic flow and a deformable ro...

In this work the unsteady non-Newtonian blood flow and mass transfer in symmetric and non-symmetric stenotic arteries are numerically simulated considering the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the code ADINA. Blood with hyperviscosity syndrome is considered and hyperelastic Mooney–Rivlin model is used for the compliant arterial wall. The inlet boundary condition of imposed velocity or pr...

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a computational methodology recently developed to numerically approximate Partial Differential Equation (PDEs). It is based on the isogeometric paradigm, for which the same basis functions used to represent the geometry are then used to approximate the unknown solution of the PDEs. In the case in which Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) are used as basis funct...

We study a nonlinear, moving boundary fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem between an incompressible, viscous Newtonian fluid, modeled by the 2D Navier-Stokes equations, and an elastic structure modeled by the shell or plate equations. The fluid and structure are coupled via the Navier slip boundary condition and balance of contact forces at the fluid-structure interface. The slip boundary...

In this paper a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) experiment is presented. The aim of this experiment is to provide a challenging yet easy-to-setup FSI test case that addresses the need for rigorous testing of FSI algorithms and modeling frameworks. Steady-state and periodic steady-state test cases with constant and periodic inflow were established. Focus of the experiment is on biomedical engi...

For many applications, the ability of a foil to passively adapt to the experienced fluid loading could be advantageous, Nicholls-Lee & Turnock (2007): e.g. wind or tidal turbine blades, hydrofoils for sailing yachts, or marine propellers. Composite materials provide the opportunity to tailor the bend twist coupling of a structure to achieve these goals, Veers & Bir (1998). To allow such foils t...

Motivated by the ongoing discussion concerning the nature of the scalar resonances f 0 (980) and a 0 (980), the COSY-11 collaboration has taken exclusive data on the pp → ppK + K − reaction near the production threshold. A first total cross section σ = (1.80 ± 0.27 +0.28 −0.35) nb for the excess energy Q = 17 MeV has been determined. In contrary to the η, ω, and η ′ single meson production stud...

This paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of the interaction of compressible viscous flow with elastic structures. The flow is described by the compressible Navier-Stokes equations written in the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) form. For the elastic deformation we use 2D linear elasticity and nonlinear St. Venant-Kirchhoff and neo-Hookean models. The discretization of both flow ...
