| Summary: | Abstract: Complex fluid problems arise during fluid-structure interactions and pose a major
challenge in the development of a stable generic numerical approach. Owing to the robustness of
flowfield dependent variation (FDV) method in dealing with complex flow interactions, a new
numerical procedure using the FDV method coupled with arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE)
technique is developed. The combination of FDV and ALE method is discretised using finite
volume method in order to give flexibility in dealing with complicated geometries. The
formulation itself yields block tridiagonal matrix for one-dimensional formulation, which can
then be solved using a relatively simple block lower-upper decomposition method.
One-dimensional inviscid flows for stationary and moving boundary problems are solved using
the proposed method. Stability criterion for stationary boundary problems has been derived. The
method is found to be conditionally stable and its stability is dependent on the FDV parameters.
Several numerical tests have been conducted and the results show good agreement with exact and
available numerical solutions in the literature. |
