Finite element analysis of fluid flows fully coupled with structural interactions

Abstract

Some advances in capabilities for analysis of fluid flows fully coupled with structural interactions are presented. Incompressible Navier-Stokes and compressible Navier-Stokes or Euler fluids and the full interaction with structures undergoing large deformations, nonlinear material response and contact conditions can be considered. The analysis capabilities are available in the ADINA System, and are integrated within computer-aided design using the available ADINA modeler and CAD interfaces. Various analysis cases are presented to illustrate the solution capabilities.
