Fluid-Structure Interaction Modeling by ALE and SPH

Article Preview

Abstract:

The outcomes of a research focusing on water modeling and Fluid-Structure Interaction by ALE and SPH in LSTC/LS-Dyna971 are presented in this paper. Firstly the water impact behaviors of a rigid wedge are modeled with water region by ALE and SPH. The size of fluid elements plays critical role to the numerical results, so three different cases varied in mesh or particle spacing both in ALE and SPH methods are detailed discussed. The numerical results are compared both one to the others and to the experimental and theoretical results in terms of vertical velocity and slamming force, which can be concluded that the more elements modeled in the simulation, the better approximation with the experiment results. An additional discussion of propagation of pressure wave by SPH and CPU time are also presented.
