1 Description

Quoting from here:

This toolkit supersedes the icoFsiElasticNonLinULSolidFoam FSI solver within the solidMechanics toolbox.

This framework was presented at the OpenFOAM Workshop 2014 in Zagreb: abstract and slides.

The major improvement with regard to FSI coupling is the implementation of the IQN-ILS algorithm.

Also, the plugin approach used for the solid and fluid solvers should allow easier extension to other fluid/solid models e.g. multi-phase, compressible, plasticity, etc.

2 Installation

Download here: Fsi_31.tar.gz

Place the package inside the designated user folder; said user folder is pointed out by the following command:

echo $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR

Extract by running:

tar -xzf Fsi_31.tar.gz

Then compile by running:

cd FluidStructureInteraction/src/
./Allwmake

3 Tutorials

The toolkit provides in the folder run the following examples:

• fsiFoam
  • 3dTube
  • beamInCrossFlow
  • HronTurekFsi3
• stressFoam
  • plateHole
• thermalStressFoam
  • flange

3.1 fsiFoam tutorial cases

Each tutorial case available in the fsiFoam folder is executed by running the following commands:

sed -i s/tcsh/sh/g *Links
./removeSerialLinks fluid solid
./makeSerialLinks fluid solid
cd fluid
./Allclean
./Allrun

3.2 stressFoam tutorial case

The tutorial case plateHole is executed by going into the case folder:

cd stressFoam/plateHole/plateHole/

And running:

./Allrun

3.3 thermalStressFoam tutorial case

The tutorial case flange is executed by going into the case folder:

cd thermalStressFoam/flange/

And running:

./Allrun
