    An Updated Lagrangian Particle Hydrodynamics (ULPH)-NOSBPD Coupling Approach for Modeling Fluid-Structure Interaction Problem

    Zhen Wang1, Junsong Xiong1, Shaofan Li2, Xin Lai1,3,*, Xiang Liu3, Lisheng Liu1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.141, No.1, pp. 491-523, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.052923 - 20 August 2024

    Abstract A fluid-structure interaction approach is proposed in this paper based on Non-Ordinary State-Based Peridynamics (NOSB-PD) and Updated Lagrangian Particle Hydrodynamics (ULPH) to simulate the fluid-structure interaction problem with large geometric deformation and material failure and solve the fluid-structure interaction problem of Newtonian fluid. In the coupled framework, the NOSB-PD theory describes the deformation and fracture of the solid material structure. ULPH is applied to describe the flow of Newtonian fluids due to its advantages in computational accuracy. The framework utilizes the advantages of NOSB-PD theory for solving discontinuous problems and ULPH theory for solving fluid… More >

    Hayder Kareem Sakran1,2, Mohd Sharizal Abdul Aziz1,*, Chu Yee Khor3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.140, No.1, pp. 109-137, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.047245 - 16 April 2024

    Abstract The centrifugal pump is a prevalent power equipment widely used in different engineering patterns, and the impeller blade wrap angle significantly impacts its performance. A numerical investigation was conducted to analyze the influence of the blade wrap angle on flow characteristics and energy distribution of a centrifugal pump evaluated as a low specific speed with a value of 69. This study investigates six impeller models that possess varying blade wrap angles (95°, 105°, 115°, 125°, 135°, and 145°) that were created while maintaining the same volute and other geometrical characteristics. The investigation of energy loss… More > Graphic Abstract

    Fluid-Structure Interaction in Arterial Network and Implications for Blood Pressure Measurement– A Numerical Study

    Peishuo Wu1, Chi Zhu1,2,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09869

    Abstract Central blood pressure, i.e., the blood pressure near the heart, is an important physiological indicator of the cardiovascular function of a patient. However, direct measurement of this quantity is rarely carried out due to the invasive nature of the procedure. Instead, blood pressure at the arm (brachial artery) measured through an inflatable cuff is commonly used to represent or estimate the central blood pressure. On the other hand, the aortic pressure propagates downstream in the form of pulse waves, which have to pass through a complex and compliant vascular network to reach the brachial artery.… More >

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.6, pp. 1573-1584, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.024873 - 30 January 2023

    Abstract Gases containing sulfur oxides can cause corrosion and failure of bellows used as furnace blowers in high-temperature environments. In order to mitigate this issue, the behavior of an effective blast furnace blower has been examined in detail. Firstly, the Sereda corrosion model has been introduced to simulate the corrosion rate of the related bellows taking into account the effects of temperature and SO2 gas; such results have been compared with effective measurements; then, the average gas velocity in the pipeline and the von Mises stress distribution of the inner draft tube have been analyzed using a More >

    Analysis of the Influence of the Blade Deformation on Wind Turbine Output Power in the Framework of a Bidirectional Fluid-Structure Interaction Model

    Ling Yuan1, Zhenggang Liu2,*, Li Li3, Ming Lin1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.5, pp. 1129-1141, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.023538 - 30 November 2022

    Abstract The blades of large-scale wind turbines can obviously deform during operation, and such a deformation can affect the wind turbine’s output power to a certain extent. In order to shed some light on this phenomenon, for which limited information is available in the literature, a bidirectional fluid-structure interaction (FSI) numerical model is employed in this work. In particular, a 5 MW large-scale wind turbine designed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the United States is considered as a testbed. The research results show that blades’ deformation can increase the wind turbine’s output power by More > Graphic Abstract

    Numerical Simulation Study of Vibration Characteristics of Cantilever Traffic Signal Support Structure under Wind Environment

    Meng Zhang1, Zhichao Zhou1, Guifeng Zhao1,*, Fangfang Wang2,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.134, No.1, pp. 673-698, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.021463 - 24 August 2022

    Abstract Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the finite element method (FEM) are used to investigate the wind-driven dynamic response of cantilever traffic signal support structures as a whole. By building a finite element model with the same scale as the actual structure and performing modal analysis, a preliminary understanding of the dynamic properties of the structure is obtained. Based on the two-way fluid-structure coupling calculation method, the wind vibration response of the structure under different incoming flow conditions is calculated, and the vibration characteristics of the structure are analyzed through the displacement time course data of… More >

    Research on the Dynamic Response of Submerged Floating Tunnels to Wave Currents and Traffic Load

    Bolin Jiang1,*, Shanshan Wu2, Min Ji1, Bo Liang3

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.1, pp. 159-173, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.020730 - 02 August 2022

    Abstract Submerged floating tunnel (SFTs) are typically subjected to complex external environmental and internal loads such as wave currents and traffic load. In this study, this problem is investigated through a finite element method able to account for fluid-structure interaction. The obtained results show that increasing the number of vehicles per unit length enhances the transverse vibrational displacements of the SFT cross sections. Under ultimate traffic load condition, one-way and two-way syntropic distributions can promote the dynamic responses of SFTs whereas two-way reverse distributions have the opposite effect. More >

    Abstract Based on the theories of the gas seepage in coal seams and the deformation of the coal-rock medium, the gas seepage field in coal-rock mass is coupled with the deformation field of the coal-rock mass to establish a fluid-structure interaction model for the interaction between coal gas and coal-rock masses. The outburst process in coal-rock masses under the joint action of gas pressure and crustal stress is simulated using the material point method. The simulation results show the changes in gas pressure, velocity distribution, maximum principal stress distribution, and damage distribution during the process of… More >

    TRANSVERSAL FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER OF TWO CYLINDERS WITH A FLAPPING REED BETWEEN THEM

    Zhiyun Wang*, Ziqing Wang, Mo Yang

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.17, pp. 1-7, 2021, DOI:10.5098/hmt.17.10

    Abstract This paper presents a two-dimensional fluid-structure interaction numerical simulation of fluid flow over two horizontal heat exchange cylinders affected by a flapping reed in a domain. The reed is a thin flexible sheet made of elastic material with one end fixed on the trailing edge of the upstream cylinder. The effects of the reed length and the cylinder spacing on the periodic oscillations of the reed, the flow field and the heat transfer of the downstream cylinder. The results show that the oscillation of the reed in this paper is a single-period oscillate model. Compared… More >

    Magdalini Ntetsika, Panayiotis Papadopoulos*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.129, No.3, pp. 1243-1258, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.017404 - 25 November 2021

    Abstract A new and computationally efficient version of the immersed boundary method, which is combined with the coarse-graining method, is introduced for modeling inextensible filaments immersed in low-Reynolds number flows. This is used to represent actin biopolymers, which are constituent elements of the cytoskeleton, a complex network-like structure that plays a fundamental role in shape morphology. An extension of the traditional immersed boundary method to include a stochastic stress tensor is also proposed in order to model the thermal fluctuations in the fluid at smaller scales. By way of validation, the response of a single, massless, More >
