Partitioned 2D & 3D FSI

This page is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS. Here I will be presenting the stepwise results I post-processed while validating the accuracy of the partitioned fluid structure interaction numerical framework that I developed as part of my research on “*coupling instability in low mass-ratio partitioned FSI simulations*”

In what is to come; I will show how I successfully reproduced the results from three challenging FSI benchmarks validating my data against both the results provided in the literature and that produced by established commercial software. These results demonstrate the accuracy of the domain solvers themselves and, generally speaking, the robustness of the developed numerical framework to handle complex FSI problems with strong added-mass effects, high structural nonlinearity, and considerable mesh deformation.

The benchmarks successfully reproduced included;

• 2D Incompressible Flow over a Cantilevered (Linear) Elastic Beam
• 2D Incompressible Flow over a Cantilevered (Nonlinear) Elastic Beam
• 3D Pressure Pulse Propogation through an Elastic Tube
