Physics-Based Simulations of Fluid/Structure/Dynamics Interactions in Scenarios Associated with Blast

Abstract

CONCLUDING REMARKS: Developed physics-based computer simulations of the effects of fluid/structure interactions due to blast * Open-source software offers accurate and fast simulations * CFD in multiply connected domain * Generic geometries * Developed fluid-structure-dynamics interactions mutiphysics solver * Vehicle occupant motion and deformation due to direct/indirect exposure to blast wave * In the future, * Apply to realistic dummy model * Develop and couple multi-body dynamics capability for human-like dummy model * Deliver software for time-accurate vehicle occupant blast wave load simulations to TARDEC
