The accuracy and computational efficiency of various interpolation methods for the implementation of non grid-confirming boundaries is assessed. The aim of the research is to select an interpolation method that is both efficient and sufficiently accurate to be used in the simulation of vortex induced vibration of the flow around a deformable cylinder. Results are presented of an immersed boundary implementation in which the velocities near non-confirming boundaries were interpolated in the normal direction to the walls. The flow field is solved on a Cartesian grid using a finite volume method with a staggered variable arrangement. The Strouhal number and Drag coefficient for various cases are reported. The results show a good agreement with the literature. Also, the drag coefficient and Strouhal number results for five different interpolation methods were compared it was shown that for a stationary cylinder at low Reynolds number, the interpolation method could affect the drag coefficient by a maximum 2 % and the Strouhal number by maximum of 3%. In addition, the bi-liner interpolation method took about 2 % more computational time per vortex shedding cycle in companion to the other methods.

The paper briefly describes one numerical model for the simulation of fluid-structure coupled problems. The presented model is primarily intended to simulate the fluid-structure dynamic interaction in seismic conditions of civil engineering structures which are in direct contact with fluid and which can often be encountered in engineering practice, for example: dams, water tanks (reservoirs), offshore structures, pipelines, water towers, etc. The model is based on the so called “partition scheme ” where the equations governing the fluid’s pressures and the displacement of the structure are solved separately, with two distinct solvers. The SPH (Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics) method is used for the fluid and the standard FEM (Finite Element Method) is used for the structure, which can be made from reinforced concrete or steel and which can be simulated with shell or 3D elements. The model includes the most important nonlinear effects of reinforced concrete behaviour: yielding in compression and opening and propagation of cracks in tension (with tensile and shear stiffness of cracked concrete), as well as steel behaviour: yielding in compression and tension. The most important nonlinear effects of the fluid can also be simulated, like fluid viscosity, turbulence and cavitation. Some of the model’s possibilities are illustrated in a practical example.

Stable partitioned algorithms for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems are developed and analyzed in this two-part paper. Part I describes an algorithm for incompressible flow coupled with compressible elastic solids, while Part II discusses an algorithm for incompressible flow coupled with structural shells. The numerical approach described here for structural shells uses Robin (mixed) interface conditions for the pressure and velocity in the fluid which are derived directly from the governing equations. The resulting added-mass partitioned (AMP) algorithm is stable even for very light structures, requires no sub-iterations per time step, and is second-order accurate. The stability and accuracy of the AMP algorithm is evaluated for linearized FSI model problems. A normal mode analysis is performed to show that the new AMP algorithm is stable, even for the case of very light structures when added-mass effects are large. Exact traveling wave solutions are derived for the FSI model problems, and these solutions are used to verify the stability and accuracy of the corresponding numerical results obtained from the AMP algorithm for the cases of light, medium and heavy structures. A summary comparison of the AMP algorithm developed here and the one in Part I is provided.
