Abstract Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) was introduced by Thomas Hughes et al. with the aim of integrating CAD and FEA. IGA methods can be categorized into two groups: Conforming IGA, such as T-spline based IGA, and non-conforming IGA, such as immersed or embedded IGA. Embedded or immersed IGA methods do not require the construction of analysis-aware geometry, unlike conforming IGA methods such as T-spline based IGA. However, the Galerkin method does not directly apply to these methods, making it challenging for immersed IGA methods to impose strong Dirichlet boundary conditions directly. Nitsche's method is a popular approach… More >

Abstract Applying numerical simulation technology to investigate fluid-solid interaction involving complex curved boundaries is vital in aircraft design, ocean, and construction engineering. However, current methods such as Lattice Boltzmann (LBM) and the immersion boundary method based on solid ratio (IMB) have limitations in identifying custom curved boundaries. Meanwhile, IBM based on velocity correction (IBM-VC) suffers from inaccuracies and numerical instability. Therefore, this study introduces a high-accuracy curve boundary recognition method (IMB-CB), which identifies boundary nodes by moving the search box, and corrects the weighting function in LBM by calculating the solid ratio of the boundary nodes,… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The current work seeks to examine numerical heat transfer by using a complicated channel with a trapezoid shape hanging in the channel. This channel demonstrates two-dimensional laminar flow, forced convective flow, and incompressible flow. To explore the behavior of heat transfer in complex channels, several parameters, such as the constant Prandtl number (Pr = 6.9), volume fraction (ϕ) equal to (0.02 to 0.04), Cauchy number (Ca) equal to (10⁻⁴ to 10⁻⁸), and Reynolds number equal to (60 to 160) were utilized. At the complex channel, different elastic walls are used in different locations, with case A… More >

Abstract Thermal load has a vital influence on the normal operation and service life of diesel engines. In this study, the thermal load and oil-cooling effect on diesel engine pistons were investigated by means of computational fluid dynamics. In particular, the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the cooling gallery were determined during the oscillation of the piston. Moreover, the temperature field distribution of the piston with and without the cooling gallery were compared. The results revealed that the cooling gallery has a prominent effect on reducing the thermal load on the piston crown and piston More >

Abstract This paper reports the experimental study of water pressure properties inside crack of Non-ballasted track structure. Pre-existing crack concrete specimens with 510 × 1290 × 80mm dimensions were produced, and fluid-fracture interaction tests under cyclic loading were performed. The water pressure were measured at different locations inside cracks and with different loading frequencies as well as amplitudes. By using the experimental data, then is employed to investigate the water pressure distribution inside cracks affected by both the frequency and amplitude under cyclic loading. From this study, it was determined that the water pressure of cracks More >

Abstract This paper implements a numerical method based on the mutual coupling of the boundary element method (BEM) and the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method to simulate elastic wave propagation in fluid-filled boreholes. The fluid-solid interaction is solved in the frequency domain assuming longitudinally invariant geometry in the axial direction (2.5D formulation).
This model is used to assess the influence of the non-homogeneous material properties of a borehole wall that can be caused by a damaged zone, construction process or the ageing of material. The BEM is used to model propagation within the unbounded homogeneous domain… More >

Abstract In this work, a coupling strategy between the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) and the Kansa's Method (KM) for the analysis of fluid-solid interaction problems in the frequency domain is proposed. In this approach, the MFS is used to model the acoustic fluid medium, while KM accounts for the elastodynamic solid medium. The coupling between the two methods is performed iteratively, with independent discretizations being used for the two methods, without requiring matching between the boundary nodes along the solid-fluid interface. Two application examples, with single and multiple solid sub-domains, are presented, illustrating the behavior More >
