This paper presents a fully Lagrangian meshfree projection-based hydroelastic FSI solver within the SPH framework for simulating incompressible fluid flows interacting with laminated composite elastic structures. The solver utilizes an enhanced version of Incompressible SPH for fluids and a structure model in the context of Hamiltonian SPH for laminated composite elastic structures. The solver demonstrates superior performance without artificial stabilizers or smoothing of material properties at material interfaces, and its potential applicability for practical engineering applications is highlighted through challenging simulations.
The paper presents a fully Lagrangian meshfree projection-based hydroelastic FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction) solver for simulation of incompressible fluid flows interacting with laminated composite elastic structures. The presented computational method is configured within the SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) framework. An enhanced version of Incompressible SPH (ISPH) is adopted as the fluid model and a structure model in the context of Hamiltonian SPH (HSPH) is coded for stable, accurate and conservative simulations of laminated composite elastic structures. The fluid-structure coupling is conducted by either the Fluid-Structure Acceleration-based (FSA) or the Pressure Integration (PI) coupling scheme with careful considerations of interface boundary conditions and numerical stability with respect to the discontinuities in densities of constituent laminates of considered composite structures. A distinct superiority of the proposed solver corresponds to absence of any artificial stabilizers or artificial smoothing of material properties at material interfaces. Verifications are coherently performed by conducting several benchmark test cases with exact analytical solutions, first for structures and then for fluid-structure systems. Finally, to portray the potential applicability of the solver for practical engineering applications, a challenging simulation of water slamming on a sandwich hull, comprising of large discontinuities in structural material properties is conducted. To the best knowledge of authors, this paper presents the first hydroelastic FSI solver corresponding to composite structures in the context of SPH. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
