IS31 - Sharing Advances in Modelling Techniques for Fluid-Structure Interaction
Organized by: V. Faucher and G. Ricciardi
The proposed Invited Session aims at gathering and sharing latest research in terms of
advanced modelling for fluid-structure coupling. It is based on the observation that
depending on the applicative communities, a large variety of methods is implemented,
from very refined approaches relying on the explicit representation of fluid-structure
interfaces through Arbitrary Euler-Lagrange representation, to approaches emphasizing
on robustness such as immersed boundaries or porous media, with the need then to assess
their accuracy. Bringing together the knowledge acquired for all these techniques used in
conjunction with different set of equations, Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible
turbulent flows or Euler equations for transient compressible flows for example, thus
appears as profitable, assuming that the physics of interest are very different and
therefore, the methodological exchanges between the involved researchers can be
enhanced.
Showing results in the state-of-the art management of some key issues of general interest
whatever the community is encouraged. For instance, but not limited to:
- management of non-linearity in the structural modelling including immersed
contact,
- assessment of the relevant level of coupling between fluid and structure, from
explicit to semi-implicit or implicit, which can extend to the study of monolithic
coupling versus partitioned coupling,
- handling of multiple scales in fluid-structure coupling, including the usage of
adaptive mesh refinement.
Review contributions of recent and significant research in the field of modelling for fluidstructure interaction, are welcome in the Invited Session among other contributions
focused on specific new advances.
