Abstract

Abstract

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems caused by fluid impact loads are commonly existent in naval architectures and ocean engineering fields. For instance, the impact loads due to non-linear fluid motion in a liquid sloshing tank potentially affect the structural safety of cargo tanks or vessels. The challenges of numerical study on FSI problems involve not only multidisciplinary features, but also accurate description of non-linear free surface. A fully Lagrangian particle-based method , the moving particle semi-implicit and nite element coupled method (MPS-FEM), is developed to numerically study the FSI problems. Taking into account the advantage of the Lagrangian method for large deformations of both fluid and solid boundaries, the MPS method is used to simulate the fluid field while the finite element method(FEM) to calculate the structure field. Besides, the partitioning strategy is employed to couple the MPS and FEM modules. To validate accuracy of the proposed algorithm, a benchmark case is numerically investigated. Both the patterns of free surface and the deflections of the elastic structures are in good agreement with the experimental data. Then, the present FSI solver is applied to the comparative study of the mitigating effects of rigid baffles and elastic baffles on the sloshing motions and impact loads.
