Modelling and simulation of fluid structure interaction by meshfree and FEM

In this paper, the implementation of a 3-D parallel CFD code using the meshless method. Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) is described. A novel procedure for implementing the essential boundary condition using the hierarchical enrichment method is presented. The Total Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulations using Finite Element Method are developed and implemented in the parallel code. The flow past a cylinder problem served as examples throughout the paper. Both methods have shown promising results compared with analytical solution. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
