Prolonged simulation of near-free surface underwater explosion based on Eulerian finite element method

In the area of naval architecture and ocean engineering, the research about the underwater explosion problem is of great significance. To achieve prolonged simulation of near-free surface underwater explosion, the underwater explosion transient numerical model is established in this paper based on compressible Eulerian finite element method(EFEM). Compared with Geers–Hunter formula, EFEM is availably validated by simulating the free-field underwater explosion case. Then, the bubble pulsation and flow field dynamic characteristics of the cases with different underwater explosive depth are compared in this work. Lastly, the height of the water hump and the pressure of flow flied are analyzed quantitatively through the simulation results.     

Fully coupled flow-induced vibration of structures under small deformation with GMRES method

Lagrangian-Eulerian formulations based on a generalized variational principle of fluid-solid coupling dynamics are established to describe flow-induced vibration of a structure under small deformation in an incompressible viscous fluid flow. The spatial discretization of the formulations is based on the multi-linear interpolating functions by using the finite element method for both the fluid and solid structures. The generalized trapezoidal rule is used to obtain apparently non-symmetric linear equations in an incremental form for the variables of the flow and vibration. The nonlinear convective term and time factors are contained in the non-symmetric coefficient matrix of the equations. The generalized minimum residual （GMRES） method is used to solve the incremental equations. A new stable algorithm of GMRES-Hughes-Newmark is developed to deal with the flow-induced vibration with dynamical fluid-structure interaction in complex geometries. Good agreement between the simulations and laboratory measurements of the pressure and blade vibration accelerations in a hydro turbine passage was obtained, indicating that the GiViRES-Hughes-Newmark algorithm presented in this paper is suitable for dealing with the flow-induced vibration of structures under small deformation.     

On the coupled vibration of an ideal fluid with a linear elastic structure

The purpose of this paper is to analyse theoretically and numerieally the coupled vibration of an ideal fiuid with a linear elastie structure.It is proved in the paper that the natural frequencies of the coupled vibration do exist and are all real positive. The paper presents an efficient method to transform a coupled fluid-structure system to the structure with added mass and the ribrational analysis of the former is replaced by the latter in vacuum only. Numerical solution is outlined for the transformed problem and a compact frequecy equation is derived in which fluid variables do not appear. This simplifies the analysis significanily. A convergent proof has been given to guarantee the reliability of the solution. The paper also offers a general algorithm combined with Ritz method, boundary element method, and finite element method to analyse the transformed problem. Based on this algorithm, one can apply a known structural analysing program, with a little modification, to solve many different kinds     

Fractional four-step finite element method for analysis of thermally coupled fluid-solid interaction problems

An integrated fluid-thermal-structural analysis approach is presented. In this approach, the heat conduction in a solid is coupled with the heat convection in the viscous flow of the fluid resulting in the thermal stress in the solid. The fractional four-step finite element method and the streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) method are used to analyze the viscous thermal flow in the fluid. Analyses of the heat transfer and the thermal stress in the solid are performed by the Galerkin method. The second-order semiimplicit Crank-Nicolson scheme is used for the time integration. The resulting nonlinear equations are linearized to improve the computational efficiency. The integrated analysis method uses a three-node triangular element with equal-order interpolation functions for the fluid velocity components, the pressure, the temperature, and the solid displacements to simplify the overall finite element formulation. The main advantage of the present method is to consistently couple the heat transfer along the fluid-solid interface. Results of several tested problems show effiectiveness of the present finite element method, which provides insight into the integrated fluid-thermal-structural interaction phenomena.     

Interaction of underwater explosion bubble with complex elastic-plastic structure

Considering the elastic-plasticity of the structure, the combination of boundary element method and finite element method （FEM） is employed to present the calculation method for solving the complex coupled dynamic problem of bubble, elastic-plastic structure and the free surface, and the complete three-dimensional calculation program is developed as well. The error between the calculated result and the experimental result is within 10%. Taking a surface ship for example, the three-dimensional calculation program is extended to engineering filed. By employing the program, the response of the ship under the bubble loading is analyzed. From the stress-time history curves of typical elements of the structure, it can be seen that the pressure reaches its maximum when the bubble collapses and this validates that the pressure generated by the bubble collapse and the jet can cause serious damage on the ship structure. From the dynamic process of the interaction between the three-dimensional bubble and the ship, the low order vertical mode of the ship is provoked and the ship presents whip-shaped motion. And the ship does elevation and subsidence movement with the expansion and shrinkage of the bubble. Some rules and conclusions which can be applied to the engineering problems are obtained from the analysis in this paper.     

Using the DEM-CFD method to predict Brownian particle deposition in a constricted tube

Modelling of the agglomeration and deposition on a constricted tube collector of colloidal size particles immersed in a liquid is investigated using the discrete element method （DEM）. The ability of this method to represent surface interactions allows the simulation of agglomeration and deposition at the particle scale. The numerical model adopts a mechanistic approach to represent the forces involved in colloidal suspensions by including near-wall drag retardation, surface interaction and Brownian forces. The model is implemented using the commercially available DEM package EDEM 2.3~, so that results can be repli- cated in a standard and user-friendly framework. The effects of various particle-to-collector size ratios, inlet fluid flow-rates and particle concentrations are examined and it is found that deposition efficiency is strongly dependent on the inter-relation of these parameters. Particle deposition and re-suspension mechanisms have been identified and analyzed thanks to EDEM＇s post processing capability. One-way coupling with computational fluid dynamics （CFD） is considered and results are compared with a two- way coupling between EDEM 2.3 and FLUENT 12.1. It is found that two-way coupling requires circa 500% more time than one-way coupling for similar results.

NONLINEAR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF A LAMINATED HYBRID COMPOSITE PLATE SUBJECTED TO TIME-DEPENDENT EXTERNAL PULSES

Nonlinear dynamic responses of a laminated hybrid composite plate subjected to time-dependent pulses are investigated. Dynamic equations of the plate are derived by the use of the virtual work principle. The geometric nonlinearity effects are taken into account with the von Kármán large deflection theory of thin plates. Approximate solutions for a clamped plate are assumed for the space domain. The single term approximation functions are selected by considering the nonlinear static deformation of plate obtained using the finite element method. The Galerkin Method is used to obtain the nonlinear differential equations in the time domain and a MATLAB software code is written to solve nonlinear coupled equations by using the Newmark Method. The results of approximate-numerical analysis are obtained and compared with the finite element results. Transient loading conditions considered include blast, sine, rectangular, and triangular pulses. A parametric study is conducted considering the effects of peak pressure, aspect ratio, fiber orientation and thicknesses.

From a structural perspective, the pressure hull is a significant structural component of underwater vehicles, to enable them to withstand environmental loadings such as hydrostatical pressure and underwater explosive loading. Hence, improving configuration design tends to be important for underwater vehicles. Applying a nonlinear FEM/DAA coupling procedure, which addresses the effects of transient dynamic, geometrical nonlinear, elastoplastic material behavior and the fluid structure interaction, this investigation examines the transient dynamic responses of a multiple intersecting spheres (MIS) deep-submerged pressure hull subjected to underwater explosion. The time histories of the wet-surface pressure, displacement, velocity, acceleration, von Mises stress and plastic strain are presented. Additionally, the deformed diagram and velocity distribution of MIS pressure hull are elucidated. The analytical results are valuable for designing novel pressure hulls to resist underwater explosion.

Fluid–structure interaction modelling of nonlinear aeroelastic structures using the finite element corotational theory

The application of the finite element corotational theory to model geometric nonlinear structures within a fluid–structure interaction procedure is proposed. A dynamic corotational approximately-energy-conserving algorithm is used to solve the nonlinear structural response and it is shown that this algorithm's application with a four-node flat finite element is more stable than the nonlinear implicit Newmark method. This structural dynamic algorithm is coupled with the unsteady vortex-ring method using a staggered technique. These procedures were used to obtain aeroelastic results of a nonlinear plate-type wing subjected to low speed airflow. It is shown that stable and accurate numerical solutions are obtained using the proposed fluid–structure interaction algorithm. Furthermore, it is illustrated that geometric nonlinearities lead to limit cycle oscillations.     

A mixed modal-differential quadrature method for free and forced vibration of beams in contact with fluid

A simple and accurate mixed modal-differential quadrature formulation is proposed to study the dynamic behavior of beams in contact with fluid. Both free and forced vibration problems are considered. The proposed mixed methodology uses the modal technique for the structural domain while it applies the differential quadrature method (DQM) to the fluid domain. Thus, the governing partial differential equations of the beam and fluid are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations in time. In the case of forced vibration, the Newmark time integration scheme is employed to solve the resulting system of ordinary differential equations. The proposed formulation, in general, combines the simplicity of the modal method and high accuracy and efficiency of the DQM. Its application is shown by solving some beam-fluid interaction problems. Comparisons with analytical solutions show that the present method is very accurate and reliable. To demonstrate its efficiency, the test problems are also solved using the finite element method (FEM). It is found that the proposed method can produce better accuracy than the FEM using less computational time. The technique presented in this investigation is general and can be used to solve various fluid-structure interaction problems.
