Thin Solids for Fluid-Structure Interaction

In this contribution the use of hexahedral elements for the structural simulation in a fluid structure interaction framework is presented, resulting in a consistent kinematic and geometric description of the solid. In order to compensate the additional numerical effort of the three-dimensional approach, an anisotropic p-adaptive method for linear elastodynamic problems is proposed, resulting in a clearly higher efficiency and higher convergence rates than uniform p-extensions. Special emphasis is placed on the accurate transfer of loads considering the fluid discretization for computation of the surface load integrals. For a coupling with a cartesian grid based Lattice Boltzmann code it was found that oscillations in the interface tractions may excite higher structural modes possibly leading to a non-stable coupling behavior. A first remedy to this problem was a linear modal analysis of the structure, thus allowing to control the number of modes to be considered without disregarding bidirectional fluid structure interactions. Preliminary results are presented for the FSI benchmark configuration proposed in this book.
