A numerical model for geometrically nonlinear analysis of a pipe-lay on a rough seafloor

Pavel A. Trapper

Summary: This paper proposes a simple numerical technique for calculating internal force envelope diagrams for offshore pipelines. The entire pipeline is modeled as a continuous segment, considering the geometric nonlinearity induced by large deformations. The results show that seafloor irregularities generally lead to an increase in maximum internal force values at certain locations. This technique provides a time-saving alternative to commercial special-purpose finite element software.

Dynamics of a rigid-flexible coupling system in a uniform flow

Yuehao Sun et al.

Summary: This article investigates the dynamics of a two-dimensional flow over a rigid flat plate with a trailing closed flexible filament acting as a deformable afterbody. Numerical methods are used to study the flow patterns and dynamics of the rigid-flexible coupling system and to explore the effects of Reynolds number and length ratio. The study identifies five typical state modes based on the filament shape and dynamics and demonstrates the significant drag reduction achieved by utilizing the flexible filament.

Chordwise flexible aft-tail suppresses jet-switching by reinstating wake periodicity in a flapping foil

Chhote Lal Shah et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of a chordwise flexible aft-tail of a rigid heaving aerofoil on the dynamical transitions of the trailing-wake. It is found that introducing a moderately flexible tail can regularize the intermittent dynamics and eliminate the jet-switching phenomenon. Changing the length of the tail controls its flexibility, allowing for regular and periodic flow.

Control of flow separation using biomimetic shark scales with fixed tilt angles

Zengzhi Du et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of biomimetic shark scales with fixed tilt angles on flow separation over an inclined plate. The results show that the tilted biomimetic shark scales decrease the reattachment length and enhance fluid convection and vorticity convection. This improves the normal motions of fluid in the separated shear layer and provides energy to resist flow separation.

Stereo vision investigation of elastic flap kinematics in separated flow

Artur Reiswich et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of self-adaptive and flexible flaps on the performance of low Reynolds number airfoils using wind tunnel experiments. The results show that airfoils with flaps perform better near the stall regime compared to flapless airfoils. By employing stereo vision technique, the non-harmonic oscillatory behavior of the flaps is observed.

Accuracy improvement of immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann and finite element method by iterative velocity correction

Zhijian Wu et al.

Summary: The conventional immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann coupling schemes cannot accurately satisfy the non-slip boundary condition in fluid-structure interaction problems, leading to the proposal of an improved iterative velocity correction procedure. This procedure introduces a modified velocity operator to solve the problem of insufficient interpolation accuracy. By modifying the particle distribution function and performing the evolution governing equation of the multiple relaxation time-lattice Boltzmann method, the proposed coupling method ensures the non-slip boundary condition and improves the accuracy of solid boundaries in viscous and shearing flows. The numerical framework established for coupling lattice Boltzmann and finite element methods proves the efficiency of the method in transient problems involving FSI.

Effects of wing kinematics, corrugation, and clap-and-fling on aerodynamic efficiency of a hovering insect-inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicle

Khanh Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of wing kinematics, corrugation structures, and clap-and-fling on the aerodynamic efficiency of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle. It is found that modified wing kinematics version 3 improved the lift-to-drag ratio by 24%, and distributed wing corrugations slightly augmented the L/D by 2%. Clap-and-fling behavior, however, contributed to a 5% increase in lift but a 9% increase in drag, leading to a 4% reduction in L/D.

Consistency study of Lattice-Boltzmann schemes macroscopic limit

G. Farag et al.

Summary: A new Taylor-expansion lattice-Boltzmann model is proposed, reinterpreting the collision kernel as a closure for the stress-tensor equation. Numerical coupling with other schemes results in error terms with more complex scalings than those obtained via Chapman-Enskog. Different models are carefully analyzed through this new perspective, shedding new light on their consistency with the Navier-Stokes equations.

Efficient boundary condition-enforced immersed boundary method for incompressible flows with moving boundaries

Xiang Zhao et al.

Summary: In this study, the original boundary condition-enforced immersed boundary method is improved with the use of conjugate gradient technique and explicit technique for simulating incompressible flows with moving boundaries. The computational efficiency of the improved IBM is demonstrated to be higher than other popular IBM methods, especially the explicit technique-based IBM with a linear computational complexity. Coupled with D1Q4 lattice Boltzmann flux solver, the IBM with conjugate gradient technique and explicit technique successfully simulate two-dimensional and three-dimensional flows with second order accuracy in space.
