FLUID STRUCTURE INTERACTION

ALE : Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian

Mesh does not follow fluid but it is remeshed to fit new boundaries Main feature: two meshes: fluid and structure

METHODOLOGIES:ABAQUS
ALE MESH
Nodes at the boundary cannot leave the boundary
u u

Tracking of boundaries is Lagrangian After deformation of the boundaries: remeshing of internal domain Eulerian material transport across the mesh Remeshing is done every 1-10 time steps, to avoid severe distortion

RESULTS
CONCLUSIONS
o o o o o A full knowledge of the 3D design is required Significant internal components should be included in the model Seismic isolators reduce sloshing and maintain vertical behaviour Calculation time is an unsuitable issue Using and comparing the three approaches allow a better understanding on the behaviour of main variables A full description of the displacements, velocities and pressures is being obtained with all approaches Very high fluid pressures are obtained for case 6: 90 Mpa inpact local load, sensor 2 on the lid 12 Mpa inpact load, sensor 6 vessel botton
