Description

SPH modeling of fluid-structure interaction

Abstract:

This work concerns a numerical modeling of FSI (fluid-structure interaction)

problems in a uniform SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamics) framework.

It combines a conventional Eulerian SPH scheme advancing fluid motions

with a total Lagrangian SPH formulation dealing with the structure deformations.

To remedy the incompleteness of the kernel support at structure

boundaries when evaluating strains and inter-particle forces between solid

particles, a correction matrix is employed to restore first order consistency

and rotational invariance of Green strain tensor. Since both fluid and solid

governing equations are solved in SPH framework, coupling becomes straightforward

and meanwhile the momentum of an FSI system is strictly conservative.

Several tests including structure oscillation and FSI benchmark cases

have been carried out to validate the modeling and demonstrate its potential.
