Rigorous and robust partitioned fluid-structure interaction with CU-BEN and OpenFOAM
Abstract
(FSI) infrastructure, built using CU-BEN and OpenFOAM. The required coupling of the codeswill be achieved by through two complementary efforts: 1) an effort leveraging CU-BEN againstexisting software infrastructure available at NSWCCD, for coupling various modest capabilitycomputational structural dynamics solvers (CSD) with OpenFOAM, via a communicationsinterface written in Python, and 2) a parallel effort aimed at incorporating CU-BEN directly intothe OpenFOAM API framework, through the incorporation of a new set of OpenFOAM classes.Within this proposed project scope, all new FSI modeling capabilities will be verified against closed form solutions, and then validated though comparisons to experimental efforts being carried out by others (e.g. ???dam break??? experiment by Prof. Techet at MIT, and a tow tank studyof a catamaran hull carried out in Italy, at INSEAN). The Cornell researchers will work closely with collaborators (Dr. Seung-Eun Kim and Mr. Ron Miller) at NSWCCD.
