On the analysis of 2D nonlinear gravity waves with a fully nonlinear numerical model

A fully nonlinear numerical method, developed on the basis of Euler equations, is used to study the dynamics of nonlinear gravity waves, mainly in the aspects of the propagation of Stokes wave with disturbed sidebands, the evolution of one wave packet and the interaction of two wave groups. These cases have previously been studied with the higher order spectral method, which will be an approximately fully nonlinear scheme if the order of nonlinearity is not large enough, while the present method in the case of the 2D model has an integration scheme that is exact to the computer precision. As expected, in most cases the results are consistent between these two numerical models and it is confirmed again that this fully nonlinear numerical model is also capable of maintaining a high accuracy and good convergence, particularly in the long-term evolutionary process.     

Theory and model implementation for analyzing line structures subject to dynamic motions of large deformation and elongation using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) approach

This paper presents the theory development and numerical implementation of a new gradient-deficient-based ANCF (Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation) model applied to perform the nonlinear dynamic analysis of elastic line structures subject to large stretching and deformation. The derivations of model equations, introduced numerical approaches, and result validations are the focuses of this study. Different from the traditional rod theory for small stretching consideration, the present model implements the line structures’ large elongation concepts into both the control mechanisms of constitutive formulations and equations of motion. The effect of external hydrodynamic forces on structures is also included in the model formulations. Based on the conservation of energy, the line model developed in this study covers the variation in strain and takes a full account of the bending effect with large stretching. A finite-element-based implicit scheme according to a modified Newmark-beta method is employed to solve the assembled system equations with unknown variables of nodal position vectors, their tangential derivatives, and strains. Selected cases with dynamic motions, such as nonlinear oscillation of a compound pendulum, free falling of a horizontal elastic beam in air with two different settings of gravity, free falling of a submerged horizontal tether with and without an attached concentrated mass, and a submerged vertical tether with a prescribed translational motion, are simulated to verify the developed model by comparing the results with analytical solutions and published experimental data and numerical results. It is found the present ANCF model, as noticed with good matched results with analytical solutions, measurements and other published solutions, is demonstrated to be able to provide converged and reasonably accurate predictions on the responses of line structures subject to large dynamic motions.

     

Coupled MPS-modal superposition method for 2D nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems with free surface

In this paper, a coupled MPS-modal superposition method is developed for 2D nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems. In this method, the rigid-body and relatively small elastic deformation are coupled together, which considers the mutual effect between them. The elastic deformation of the structure is represented by a mode superposition formulation, which is more efficient compared with FEM, regardless of the size of the structure. For 2D cases, if the first three modes are chosen to represent the flexible deformation of the structure, it only results in a 6×6 matrix equation to be solved. For the fluid motion, the modified Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method, which significantly reduces the fluctuation of pressure calculation of the original MPS method, is used.Two nonlinear problems, i.e. breaking-water-dam impacting a floating beam and flexible wedge slamming into the water are simulated to demonstrate the performance of the developed method. The numerical simulations show that this coupling model is capable of providing stable results that are generally in good agreement with the available experimental data. For the highly nonlinear case with very large rigid motions, the mutual effect between elastic deformation and rigid motions could accumulate to a relatively remarkable level shown by the curves of trajectories or acceleration history of the body mass centre. This also indicates the importance of mutual effect to analyse highly nonlinear FSI problems with large rigid-body motions and relatively small flexible deformation.     

Development of a hybrid model based on mesh and meshfree methods and its application to fluid–elastic structure interaction for free surface waves

In this paper, a hybrid scheme, Fluid–Fluid–Elastic Structure (FFES) model was developed in the time domain to address the wave breaking impact on the structure. The model is developed based on the partitioned approach with different governing equations that describe various regions of the model domain. The fluid–fluid model denotes that two different fluid models were used to describe fluid in the actual physical domain. The method is a physics-based approximation to reduce the computational time, i.e. in the far-field inviscid fluid (fully nonlinear potential flow theory model), and near to the structure, viscous fluid (Navier Stokes model) is used. The coupled model then interacts with the elastic structure (based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory). The system of equations is strongly coupled both in space and time. The Fluid–Fluid coupling uses an implicit predictor–corrector scheme, and the fluid–structure coupling works based on an iterative scheme. This approach makes the method more robust and for future extension. Three different possibilities for introducing the coupling was identified and implemented. The model was validated against results from the analytical solution and literature. The method proposed is a reliable, robust, and efficient alternative for simulating fluid–structure interaction problems.     

Numerical modeling of wave interactions with coastal structures by a constrained interpolation profile/immersed boundary method

A high‐order difference method based multiphase model is proposed to simulate nonlinear interactions between water wave and submerged coastal structures. The model is based on the Navier–Stokes equations using a constrained interpolation profile (CIP) method for the flow solver, and employs an immersed boundary method (IBM) for the treatment of wave–structure interactions. A more accurate interface capturing scheme, the volume of fluid/weighed line interface calculation (VOF/WLIC) scheme, is adopted as the interface capturing method. A series of computations are performed to verify the application of the model for simulations of fluid interaction with various structures. These problems include flow over a fixed cylinder, water entry of a circular cylinder and solitary waves passing various submerged coastal structures. Computations are compared with the available analytical, experimental and other numerical results and good agreement is obtained. The results of this study demonstrate the accuracy and applications of the proposed model to simulate the nonlinear flow phenomena and capture the complex free surface flow.

A strongly coupled partitioned approach for fluid‐structure‐fracture interaction

We present a novel method to model large deformation fluid‐structure‐fracture interaction, which is characterized by the fact that the fluid‐induced loads lead to fracture of the structure and the fluid medium fills the resulting crack opening; the mutual interaction between the crack faces and the surrounding fluid contributes substantially to the overall dynamics. A mesh refitting approach is used to model the quasi‐static fracture of the structure, and a robust embedded interface formulation is used to solve the fluid flow equations. The proposed method uses a strongly coupled partitioned scheme with Aitken's Δ² method as convergence accelerator. Selected numerical examples of increasing complexity are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed fluid‐structure‐fracture coupling algorithm. The most difficult simulation of the reported examples involves a number of complex phenomena: mixed‐mode crack propagation through the structure, fluid starts to fill the crack opening, complete fracture of the structure into two pieces of which one is carried away by the flow.     

A modular,operator‐splitting scheme for fluid–structure interaction problems with thick structures

We present an operator‐splitting scheme for fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems in hemodynamics, where the thickness of the structural wall is comparable to the radius of the cylindrical fluid domain. The equations of linear elasticity are used to model the structure, while the Navier–Stokes equations for an incompressible viscous fluid are used to model the fluid. The operator‐splitting scheme, based on the Lie splitting, separates the elastodynamics structure problem from a fluid problem in which structure inertia is included to achieve unconditional stability. We prove energy estimates associated with unconditional stability of this modular scheme for the full nonlinear FSI problem defined on a moving domain, without requiring any sub‐iterations within time steps. Two numerical examples are presented, showing excellent agreement with the results of monolithic schemes. First‐order convergence in time is shown numerically. Modularity, unconditional stability without temporal sub‐iterations, and simple implementation are the features that make this operator‐splitting scheme particularly appealing for multi‐physics problems involving FSI.

A parallel monolithic algorithm for the numerical simulation of large‐scale fluid structure interaction problems

A novel parallel monolithic algorithm has been developed for the numerical simulation of large‐scale fluid structure interaction problems. The governing incompressible Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid domain are discretized using the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian formulation‐based side‐centered unstructured finite volume method. The deformation of the solid domain is governed by the constitutive laws for the nonlinear Saint Venant–Kirchhoff material, and the classical Galerkin finite element method is used to discretize the governing equations in a Lagrangian frame. A special attention is given to construct an algorithm with exact total fluid volume conservation while obeying both the global and the local discrete geometric conservation law. The resulting large‐scale algebraic nonlinear equations are multiplied with an upper triangular right preconditioner that results in a scaled discrete Laplacian instead of a zero block in the original system. Then, a one‐level restricted additive Schwarz preconditioner with a block‐incomplete factorization within each partitioned sub‐domains is utilized for the modified system. The accuracy and performance of the proposed algorithm are verified for the several benchmark problems including a pressure pulse in a flexible circular tube, a flag interacting with an incompressible viscous flow, and so on.

A strongly coupled,embedded-boundary method for fluid–structure interactions of elastically mounted rigid bodies

In the present paper, an embedded-boundary formulation that is applicable to fluid–structure interaction problems is presented. The Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible flow are solved on a Cartesian grid which is not aligned with the boundaries of a body that undergoes large-angle/large-displacement rigid body motions through the fixed grid. A strong-coupling scheme is adopted, where the fluid and the structure are treated as elements of a single dynamical system, and all of the governing equations are integrated simultaneously and interactively in the time domain. A demonstration of the accuracy and efficiency of the method is given for a variety of fluid–structure interaction problems.     

An immersed smoothed point interpolation method (IS‐PIM) for fluid‐structure interaction problems

An immersed smoothed point interpolation method using 3‐node triangular background cells is proposed to solve 2D fluid‐structure interaction problems for solids with large deformation/displacement placed in incompressible viscous fluid. In the framework of immersed‐type method, the governing equations can be decomposed into 3 parts on the basis of the fictitious fluid assumption. The incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations are solved using the semi‐implicit characteristic‐based split scheme, and solids are simulated using the newly developed edge‐based smoothed point interpolation method. The fictitious fluid domain can be used to calculate the coupling force. The numerical results show that immersed smoothed point interpolation method can avoid remeshing for moving solid based on immersed operation and simulate the contact phenomenon without an additional treatment between the solid and the fluid boundary. The influence from information transfer between solid domain and fluid domain on fluid‐structure interaction problems has been investigated. The numerical results show that the proposed interpolation schemes will generally improve the accuracy for simulating both fluid flows and solid structures.

The pendulum-slosh problem: Simulation using a time-dependent conformal mapping

Suspending a rectangular vessel which is partially filled with fluid from a single rigid pivoting pole produces an interesting theoretical model with which to investigate the dynamic coupling between fluid motion and vessel rotation. The exact equations for this coupled system are derived with the fluid motion governed by the Euler equations relative to the moving frame of the vessel, and the vessel motion governed by a modified forced pendulum equation. The nonlinear equations of motion for the fluid are solved numerically via a time-dependent conformal mapping, which maps the physical domain to a rectangle in the computational domain with a time dependent conformal modulus. The numerical scheme expresses the implicit free-surface boundary conditions as two explicit partial differential equations which are then solved via a pseudo-spectral method in space. The coupled system is integrated in time with a fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The starting point for the simulations is the linear neutral stability contour discovered by Turner et al. (2015, Journal of Fluid & Structures 52, 166–180). Near the contour the nonlinear results confirm the instability boundary, and far from the neutral curve (parameterized by longer pole lengths) nonlinearity is found to significantly alter the vessel response. Results are also presented for an initial condition given by a superposition of two sloshing modes with approximately the same frequency from the linear characteristic equation. In this case the fluid initial conditions generate large nonlinear vessel motions, which may have implications for systems designed to oscillate in a confined space or on the slosh-induced-rolling of a ship.     

Bifurcation analysis for a modified Jeffcott rotor with bearing clearances

A HB (Harmonic Balance)/AFT (Alternating Frequency/Time) technique is developed to obtain synchronous and subsynchronous whirling motions of a horizontal Jeffcott rotor with bearing clearances. The method utilizes an explicit Jacobian form for the iterative process which guarantees convergence at all parameter values. The method is shown to constitute a robust and accurate numerical scheme for the analysis of two dimensional nonlinear rotor problems. The stability analysis of the steady-state motions is obtained using perturbed equations about the periodic motions. The Floquet multipliers of the associated Monodromy matrix are determined using a new discrete HB/AFT method. Flip bifurcation boundaries were obtained which facilitated detection of possible rotor chaotic (irregular) motion as parameters of the system are changed. Quasi-periodic motion is also shown to occur as a result of a secondary Hopf bifurcation due to increase of the destabilizing cross-coupling stiffness coefficients in the rotor model.
