The structure is modeled as a rigid container supportedby a system consisting of springs and dashpots. The motion of the fluid is decomposed into twoparts: the large-displacement motion with the container and the large-amplitude sloshing relative tothe container. The former is conveniently dealt with by defining a container-fixed noninertiallocal frame, while the latter is easily handled by adopting an ALE kinematical description. Thisleads to an easy and accurate treatment of both the fluid-structure interface and the fluid freesurface without producing excessive distortion of the computational mesh. The coupling between thefluid and the structure is accomplished through the coupling matrices that can be easilyestablished. Two numerical examples, including a TLD-structure system and a simplified liquid-loadedvehicle system, are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposedmethod. The present work can also be applied to simulate fluid-structure problems incorporatingmultibody systems and several fluid domains.展开更多

It is related primarily with the fluid-solid interaction, whose studies mainly depend on experiments at the present time. Numerical and analytical methods for fluid-solid interaction by using 3-D full scale airplane＇s model will reduce the dependence on the expensive model tests. Numerical studies can be used to estimate the safety of ditching and provide a reference for the crashworthiness design. This article proposes a 3-D dynamical structural model after the real shape of an airplane and an Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler （ALE） fluid-field model, to simulate the fluid-solid interactions caused by low speed ditching. The simulation is based on interaction computational methods, within LS-DYNA nonlinear finite-element code. The results of pressure distributions and accelerating time histories of the airplane＇s subfloor are discussed in the context of the safety of ditching, and the simulation results and the analytical methods are verified.展开更多

The initial motivation is related to the challenging simulation of free surface flows in Pelton turbines, where highly dynamic water jets interact with rotating buckets, creating thin water jets traveling inside the housing and possibly causing disturbances on the runner. The present paper proposes an overview of industrial applications allowed by the developed tool, including design evaluation of Pelton runners and casings, transient operation of Pelton units and free surface flows in hydraulic structures.展开更多
