Cable subsystems characterized by long, slender, and flexible structural elements are featured in numerous engineering systems. In each of them, interaction between an individual cable and the surrounding fluid is inevitable. Such a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) has received little attention in the literature, possibly due to the inherent complexity associated with fluid and structural semi-discretizations of disparate spatial dimensions. This paper proposes an embedded boundary approach for filling this gap, where the dynamics of the cable are captured by a standard finite element representation $mathcal C$ of its centerline, while its geometry is represented by a discrete surface $Sigma_h$ that is embedded in the fluid mesh. The proposed approach is built on master-slave kinematics between $mathcal C$ and $Sigma_h$, a simple algorithm for computing the motion/deformation of $Sigma_h$ based on the dynamic state of $mathcal C$, and an energy-conserving method for transferring to $mathcal C$ the loads computed on $Sigma_h$. Its effectiveness is demonstrated for two highly nonlinear applications featuring large deformations and/or motions of a cable subsystem and turbulent flows: an aerial refueling model problem, and a challenging supersonic parachute inflation problem. The proposed approach is verified using numerical data, and validated using real flight data.

Dispersion of low-density rigid particles with complex geometries is ubiquitous in both natural and industrial environments. We show that while explicit methods for coupling the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and Newtons equations of motion a
re often sufficient to solve for the motion of cylindrical particles with low density ratios, for more complex particles - such as a body with a protrusion - they become unstable. We present an implicit formulation of the coupling between rigid body dynamics and fluid dynamics within the framework of the immersed boundary projection method. Similarly to previous work on this method, the resulting matrix equation in the present approach is solved using a block-LU decomposition. Each step of the block-LU decomposition is modified to incorporate the rigid body dynamics. We show that our method achieves second-order accuracy in space and first-order in time (third-order for practical settings), only with a small additional computational cost to the original method. Our implicit coupling yields stable solution for density ratios as low as $10^{-4}$. We also consider the influence of fictitious fluid located inside the rigid bodies on the accuracy and stability of our method.
We develop a fully-coupled, fully-implicit approach for phase-field modeling of solidification in metals and alloys. Predictive simulation of solidification in pure metals and metal alloys remains a significant challenge in the field of materials sci
ence, as microstructure formation during the solidification process plays a critical role in the properties and performance of the solid material. Our simulation approach consists of a finite element spatial discretization of the fully-coupled nonlinear system of partial differential equations at the microscale, which is treated implicitly in time with a preconditioned Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov method. The approach allows time steps larger than those restricted by the traditional explicit CFL limit and is algorithmically scalable as well as efficient due to an effective preconditioning strategy based on algebraic multigrid and block factorization. We implement this approach in the open-source Tusas framework, which is a general, flexible tool developed in C++ for solving coupled systems of nonlinear partial differential equations. The performance of our approach is analyzed in terms of algorithmic scalability and efficiency, while the computational performance of Tusas is presented in terms of parallel scalability and efficiency on emerging heterogeneous architectures. We demonstrate that modern algorithms, discretizations, and computational science, and heterogeneous hardware provide a robust route for predictive phase-field simulation of microstructure evolution during additive manufacturing.
A new simulation method for solving fluid-structure coupling problems has been developed. All the basic equations are numerically solved on a fixed Cartesian grid using a finite difference scheme. A volume-of-fluid formulation (Hirt and Nichols (1981
, J. Comput. Phys., 39, 201)), which has been widely used for multiphase flow simulations, is applied to describing the multi-component geometry. The temporal change in the solid deformation is described in the Eulerian frame by updating a left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor, which is used to express constitutive equations for nonlinear Mooney-Rivlin materials. In this paper, various verifications and validations of the present full Eulerian method, which solves the fluid and solid motions on a fixed grid, are demonstrated, and the numerical accuracy involved in the fluid-structure coupling problems is examined.
Venous valves are bicuspidal valves that ensure that blood in veins only flows back to the heart. To prevent retrograde blood flow, the two intraluminal leaflets meet in the center of the vein and occlude the vessel. In fluid-structure interaction (F
SI) simulations of venous valves, the large structural displacements may lead to mesh deteriorations and entanglements, causing instabilities of the solver and, consequently, the numerical solution to diverge. In this paper, we propose an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) scheme for FSI simulations designed to solve these instabilities. A monolithic formulation for the FSI problem is considered and, due to the complexity of the operators, the exact Jacobian matrix is evaluated using automatic differentiation. The method relies on the introduction of a staggered in time velocity %in the discretization scheme to improve stability, and on fictitious springs to model the contact force of the valve leaflets. Since the large structural displacements may compromise the quality of the fluid mesh as well, a smoother fluid displacement, obtained with the introduction of a scaling factor that measures the distance of a fluid element from the valve leaflet tip, guarantees that there are no mesh entanglements in the fluid domain. To further improve stability, a Streamline Upwind Petrov Galerkin (SUPG) method is employed. The proposed ALE scheme is applied to a 2D model of a venous valve. The presented simulations show that the proposed method deals well with the large structural displacements of the problem, allowing a reconstruction of the valve behavior in both the opening and closing phase.
Bayesian calibration is widely used for inverse analysis and uncertainty analysis for complex systems in the presence of both computer models and observation data. In the present work, we focus on large-scale fluid-structure interaction systems chara
cterized by large structural deformations. Numerical methods to solve these problems, including embedded/immersed boundary methods, are typically not differentiable and lack smoothness. We propose a framework that is built on unscented Kalman filter/inversion to efficiently calibrate and provide uncertainty estimations of such complicated models with noisy observation data. The approach is derivative-free and non-intrusive, and is of particular value for the forward model that is computationally expensive and provided as a black box which is impractical to differentiate. The framework is demonstrated and validated by successfully calibrating the model parameters of a piston problem and identifying the damage field of an airfoil under transonic buffeting.
