Book Computational Mechanics of Fluid Structure Interaction

Download or read book Computational Mechanics of Fluid Structure Interaction written by Rajeev Kumar Jaiman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to provide a compilation of the state-of-the-art numerical methods for nonlinear fluid-structure interaction using the moving boundary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation. Single and two-phase viscous incompressible fluid flows are considered with the increasing complexity of structures ranging from rigid-body, linear elastic and nonlinear large deformation to fully-coupled flexible multibody system. This book is unique with regard to computational modeling of such complex fluid-structure interaction problems at high Reynolds numbers, whereby various coupling techniques are introduced and systematically discussed. The techniques are demonstrated for large-scale practical problems in aerospace and marine/offshore engineering. This book also provides a comprehensive understanding of underlying unsteady physics and coupled mechanical aspects of the fluid-structure interaction from a computational point of view. Using the body-fitted and moving mesh formulations, the physical insights associated with structure-to-fluid mass ratios (i.e., added mass effects), Reynolds number, large structural deformation, free surface, and other interacting physical fields are covered. The book includes the basic tools necessary to build the concepts required for modeling such coupled fluid-structure interaction problems, thus exposing the reader to advanced topics of multiphysics and multiscale phenomena.

Book Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics

Download or read book Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics written by Joel H. Ferziger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide to numerical methods for solving fluid dynamics problems. The most widely used discretization and solution methods, which are also found in most commercial CFD-programs, are described in detail. Some advanced topics, like moving grids, simulation of turbulence, computation of free-surface flows, multigrid methods and parallel computing, are also covered. Since CFD is a very broad field, we provide fundamental methods and ideas, with some illustrative examples, upon which more advanced techniques are built. Numerical accuracy and estimation of errors are important aspects and are discussed in many examples. Computer codes that include many of the methods described in the book can be obtained online. This 4th edition includes major revision of all chapters; some new methods are described and references to more recent publications with new approaches are included. Former Chapter 7 on solution of the Navier-Stokes equations has been split into two Chapters to allow for a more detailed description of several variants of the Fractional Step Method and a comparison with SIMPLE-like approaches. In Chapters 7 to 13, most examples have been replaced or recomputed, and hints regarding practical applications are made. Several new sections have been added, to cover, e.g., immersed-boundary methods, overset grids methods, fluid-structure interaction and conjugate heat transfer.

Book On the Assessment of Immersed Boundary Methods for Fluid structure Interaction Modelling

Download or read book On the Assessment of Immersed Boundary Methods for Fluid structure Interaction Modelling written by Mathieu Specklin and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meshing stage of a Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) problem is of crucial importance. In realistic engineering applications, issues arise when dealing with complex, sharp and moving boundaries, removing the possibility of automatic creation of a high quality structured mesh for instance. For Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems, the standard body-fitted meshing approaches are also limited to low structure deformation and to simple geometries. In light of these limitations, Immersed Boundary Methods (IBMs) have shown to be good alternatives for a broad range of problems. The present work sets out to build a set of numerical methods based on IBMs to simulate both the motion of rigid bodies and the transport of thin flexible solids. This research focuses on the specific area of waste water pumps. Firstly, IBMs are used to provide estimates of the hydrodynamic performances of centrifugal pumps. Secondly, this type of method is used to give a first answer regarding the characterization of the physical mechanism that leads to clogging in such pumps. The numerical tool is coupled to two different solvers for the fluid equations: (i) Navier-Stokes (NS) and (ii) Lattice-Boltzmann (LB). In the NS context, a sharp IBM based on a penalization method is developed and implemented in the open source library OpenFOAM in order to model the flow around rigid bodies. The complete model includes correction of the boundary conditions at the fluid-solid interface to improve the accuracy of the solution and coupling with turbulence models. To model the transport and the deformation of flexible structures, a diffuse penalty based IBM coupled to a solid model based on the variational derivative of the deformation energy is considered. In the LB context, the diffuse IBM available in the open source library Palabos is assessed for one-way coupling problems with rigid bodies. The latter is extended and coupled to the same solid model as above in order to study flexible structures. The capabilities and the accuracy of the two IBMs are assessed and compared with several test cases dealing with rigid bodies. For the sharp NS-IBM, numerical results of academic cases highlight the benefits brought by the corrections of the interface boundary conditions. In engineering cases, the method leads to results in good agreement with experimental data and numerical data from standard body-fitted simulations. Finally, for the IBMs aimed at modelling the flexible structures, both physical approaches compare well with previous numerical models in literature, and are giving promising results regarding the clogging mechanism.

Download or read book Immersed Boundary Method for Cfd written by Guangfa Yao and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The immersed boundary method has become increasingly popular in modeling fluid-structure interaction using computational fluid dynamics. It does this by adding a body force term in the momentum equations. The magnitude and direction of this body force assure that the boundary condition on the solid-fluid interface is satisfied without invoking the body-fitted numerical methods to impose the boundary condition on a solid-fluid interface. This eliminates the significant effort involved in the usually challenging task of generating a body fitted mesh. The governing equations for fluid flow with or without moving solid bodies are solved using a fixed and non-body conforming Cartesian mesh. There are many variations of immersed boundary methods with different implementations to calculate the body force term. A few popular implementations are introduced in this book. Related equations are derived and presented in detail. As examples, a few approaches are formulated using different methods to calculate the body force term, with related validations. Immersed boundary methods are usually coupled with fractional step methods to model fluid flow. One fractional step method is introduced in this book. The related discretized equations are derived in detail. The treatment of domain boundary conditions is also discussed. In immersed boundary methods, the stationary or moving solid bodies in a computational domain are embedded in the fixed mesh. Solid bodies need to be represented or tracked. Interpolation and/or extrapolation need to be performed to calculate the body force term and impose the velocity boundary condition on a solid-fluid interface. In some approaches, a solid volume fraction is also needed in cells containing some solid. The level set method, as a powerful tool that is usually used to track a free surface flow, and construct and manipulate complex geometries, is chosen in the book to perform these tasks. Representing and tracking solid bodies, performing interpolation and extrapolation, and calculating a solid volume fraction are discussed in detail, using the level set method. This book focuses on the implementation of the immersed boundary methods by providing detailed derivations of related equations to facilitate the readers' understanding, so that they may learn the basics and write their own code.

Book Fluid Structure Interaction II

Download or read book Fluid Structure Interaction II written by Hans-Joachim Bungartz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-28 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid-structure interactions (FSI), i.e., the interplay of some moveable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid, are among the most widespread and most challenging coupled or multi-physics problems. Although much has been accomplished in developing good computational FSI methods and despite convincing solutions to a number of classes of problems including those presented in this book, there is a need for more comprehensive studies showing that the computational methods proposed are reliable, robust, and efficient beyond the classes of problems they have successfully been applied to.This volume of LNCSE, a sequel to vol. 53, which contained, among others, the first numerical benchmark for FSI problems and has received considerable attention since then, presents a collection of papers from the "First International Workshop on Computational Engineering - special focus FSI," held in Herrsching in October 2009 and organized by three DFG-funded consortia. The papers address all relevant aspects of FSI simulation and discuss FSI from the mathematical, informatical, and engineering perspective.

Book A Scalable and Adaptive Discretization for Free Surface Incompressible Flow Simulation Using Overlapping Cartesian Grids

Download or read book A Scalable and Adaptive Discretization for Free Surface Incompressible Flow Simulation Using Overlapping Cartesian Grids written by Robert Elliot English and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents a novel method for discretizing the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Within numerical simulation, the underlying spatial discretization plays a crucial role in defining the properties of a numerical method. In order to resolve solution features on multiple length scales, adaptive spatial discretizations using unstructured and block structured approaches have been developed. However, while many of these methods have resolved the mathematical issues, scaling these methods to large problems which require the use of large distributed memory systems has been problematic due to issues of domain decomposition and remeshing. Block structured approaches such as Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) and Chimera grid methods have been particularly successful since they allow for accurate fluid-structure interaction and spatial adaptivity. However, their scalability has been limited when applied to more complicated problems due the large number of grids required in AMR methods and the complicated linear systems arising in Chimera methods. This dissertation introduces an overlapping grid method that uses moving and overlapping Cartesian grids with independently specified cell sizes to address adaptivity. Unlike AMR approaches, by allowing the Cartesian patches to be arbitrarily rotated and translated, far fewer patches are necessary to rasterize solid boundaries and flow features. This both improves cache coherency and greatly simplifies domain decomposition. Advection is handled with first and second order accurate semi-Lagrangian schemes in order to alleviate any time step restriction associated with small grid cell sizes. The primary focus of this dissertation, however, is the Poisson discretization used in order to solve the elliptic equation for the Navier-Stokes pressure or that resulting from the temporal discretization of parabolic terms such as viscosity. A novel discretization is introduced where the coupling terms are defined implicitly through the use of a Voronoi diagram computed for a subset of the Cartesian grid cell centers. The resulting Poisson discretization is second order accurate and requires the solution of a symmetric positive definite linear system. Each aspect of the approach is demonstrated independently on test problems in order to show efficacy and convergence before finally addressing a number of common test cases for incompressible flow with stationary and moving solid bodies. The method is then extended to handle two-way coupled fluid structure interaction using a monolithic immersed boundary approach. In order to represent free surfaces the particle level set method is adapted to overlapping grids. The method includes a new treatment for particles near grid boundaries with disparate cell sizes, and strategies to deal with issues of locality in the implementation of the level set and fast marching algorithms resulting from the different bandwidths of valid values near the interface on different grids. The resulting method is capable of simulating problems with solution features on disparate scales while efficiently exploiting distributed computational resources.
