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
