Abstract

A modified rigid-object formulation is developed, and employed as part of the fluid-object interaction modeling framework fromAkkerman et al. (J Appl Mech 79(1):010905, 2012. 10.1115/1.4005072) to simulate free vibration and flutter of long-span bridges subjected to strong winds. To validate the numerical methodology, companion wind tunnel experiments have been conducted. The results show that the computational framework captures very precisely the aeroelastic behavior in terms of aerodynamic stiffness, damping and flutter characteristics. Considering its relative simplicity and accuracy, we conclude from our study that the proposed free-vibration simulation technique is a valuable tool in engineering design of long-span bridges.

Cavity Formation during Asymmetric Water Entry of Rigid Bodies

Riccardo Panciroli, Giangiacomo Minak

Summary: This study numerically evaluates the impact of advancing velocity on the water entry of rigid wedges, investigating the pressure evolution and fluid detachment at the fluid-structure interface. The results show that entry depth, asymmetry, and entry velocity significantly influence the tilting moment generated during water entry.

On the feasibility of a flexible foil with passive heave to extract energy from low wind speeds

R. Fernandez-Feria, E. Sanmiguel-Rojas

Summary: We investigate the energy extraction capability of flexible foils mounted to translational springs and dampers at the leading edge, finding that energy can be harvested from low-speed winds. The study provides theoretical predictions and numerical simulations to demonstrate the potential of these foils in extracting energy at lower wind speeds compared to conventional wind turbines.

Numerical analysis of wind turbines blade in deep dynamic stall

Hamid Reza Karbasian, Javad Abolfazli Esfahani, Aliyu Musa Aliyu, Kyung Chun Kim

Summary: This study numerically investigates the kinematics of dynamic stall and found that the different movements of the blade with the same angle of attack can significantly affect the aerodynamic loads and dynamic stall process. The pure-pitching motion induces higher drag force on the airfoil compared to the pure-heaving motion, while the pure-heaving motion causes excessive turbulence in the boundary layer, leading to more stable coherent structures and higher lift at post-stall.

A phase-field based model for coupling two-phase flow with the motion of immersed rigid bodies

Martin Reder, Paul W. Hoffrogge, Daniel Schneider, Britta Nestler

Summary: This paper introduces a model for the interaction between immersed rigid bodies and two-phase flow, and proposes a full multiphase-field method to solve this problem. By using a normalized phase variable and a wetting boundary condition method, the model is able to represent capillary effects and different wetting behavior, and can handle various setups for two-phase particulate flow.

A spatial-temporal analysis approach for flutter predictions using decoupled and fully-coupled methods

H. M. Phan

Summary: The research indicates that decoupled methods are no longer sufficient for flutter predictions in the turbomachinery industry, leading to a shift towards fully-coupled methods. A spatial-temporal analysis approach based on the Hilbert transform is proposed to effectively elucidate the associated vibration mechanisms.

Options for Dynamic Similarity of Interacting Fluids, Elastic Solids and Rigid Bodies Undergoing Large Motions

Huan Liu, Kalpesh Jaykar, Vinitendra Singh, Ankit Kumar, Kevin Sheehan, Peter Yip, Philip Buskohl, Richard D. James

Summary: Motivated by a design of a vertical axis wind turbine, this paper presents a theory of dynamical similarity for mechanical systems consisting of interacting elastic solids, rigid bodies, and incompressible fluids in the geometrically nonlinear case. It analyzes the equations of motion and identifies numerous cases, especially for stiff nonlinear elastic materials, that have not been previously identified. These results are particularly applicable to structures made with origami design methods, where isometric deformation of tiles is allowed. The findings are summarized in tables, and some specific numerical examples are discussed.

Numerical simulation of separated flows around a hybrid rigid-flexible thin plate

Xi Zhang, Tingqiu Li, Zuyuan Liu, William Geraint Price, Pandeli Temarel

Summary: This paper investigates the mechanism and effects of vortex shedding on structures through numerical simulations and model construction. The results show that introducing a flexible thin plate can significantly reduce the drag on the blunt body, but vortex shedding exhibits significant randomness and instability.

A numerical study on sloshing mitigation by vertical floating rigid baffle

Cezar Augusto Bellezi, Liang-Yee Cheng, Kazuo Nishimoto

Summary: Sloshing in partially filled tanks is an important phenomenon for the design of offshore structures, and this study focused on the numerical investigation of sloshing mitigation devices based on a floating baffle. The effects of fixed baffles and floating baffles on sloshing were analyzed, and it was found that fixed baffles could mitigate resonant frequencies under certain filling conditions but might lead to more violent flows under other conditions, while floating baffles provided sloshing mitigation for a larger range of filling conditions.

Summary: This paper presents a measurement setup for acquiring real information about the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of rotating wind turbines in wind tunnel experiments. The setup can simultaneously record both fluid and deformation information and combines both systems temporally and spatially. The experiments demonstrate the high-quality area-based information about fluid and deformation that the new setup can acquire.

Dimensionally reduced, nonlinear dragged solids: Theory and finite elements for rigid and shell-like bodies

Rafael Canton-Sanchez, David Portillo, Ignacio Romero

Summary: This article presents a technique for dimension reduction that allows the study of dynamics for three-dimensional bodies by connecting them with simplified structural models. The main idea is to link the two types of bodies in a way that the three-dimensional body supports external loads, while kinematics and equilibrium are handled by the reduced structure. This approach enables the replacement of expensive numerical discretizations with computationally cheaper structural elements, without sacrificing relevant geometrical features, making it especially useful for fluid/structure interaction problems.

Summary: This paper presents a numerical investigation of large-diameter monopiles in drained sand, exploring the lateral response and the influence of pile diameter and loading eccentricity. Results from centrifuge tests and finite-element analyses show the suitability of an advanced constitutive model and propose a normalization method to unify load-deflection responses of rigid piles with different diameters.
