A computational procedure to estimate the noise radiated from a discharge valve system in a linear compressor was discussed and established. This procedure was composed of three steps. As the first step, the dynamic behavior of the valve system was estimated taking into consideration of fluid-valve-piston interactions. As the second step, the flow characteristics of refrigerant in the discharge valve system were estimated through computational fluid dynamics applying the behaviors of the valves as moving boundary conditions. The variations of pressures and velocities of fluid were converted to quadrupole noise sources. As the final step, the boundary element method based on Helmholtz equation was applied to predict the radiated acoustic pressure. The computational results by the presented procedure were experimentally validated.

In ship structure, many parts are in contact with inner or outer fluid as stern, ballast and oil tanks. Fatigue damages are sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance with exciting force of engine and propeller. Vibration characteristics of these tanks in contact with fluid are significantly affected by fluid coupling effect. Therefore it is important to exactly predict vibration characteristics of tank structure. In order to estimate the vibration characteristics, the fluid-structure interaction(FSI) problem should be solved precisely. But it is difficult to estimate exactly the magnitude of the fluid coupling effect because it has some problems such as a fluid-structure interaction, influence by the free surface, vibration modes of structural panels and depth of water. In this paper, with fluid coupling effect, the effect of structural constraint between panels on the vibration characteristics are investigated numerically and discussed.

세굴은 유체와 유사의 상호작용으로 발생하는 중요한 자연 현상 중 하나로, 구조 및 지반 붕괴, 홍수, 생태계 파괴 등의 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 이러한 세굴 현상을 예측하기 위해 많은 수치적 연구가 진행되어왔지만, 대부분의 연구가 기존 격자기반방법인 유한체적법 (FVM)과 개별요소법 (DEM)이 연성된 모델을 이용하였고, 이는 격자 의존도로 인한 정확도와 효율성의 문제점을 보였다. 해결책으로 입자기반 유체해석 방법인 약압축성 SPH (WCSPH)와 개별요소법의 결합모델을 이용한 모의가 연구되어 왔지만, 단순 밀도차를 활용한 유체해석방법이 압력의 불안정성을 야기하여 유사의 운동에도 영향을 주는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 개별요소법의 특성상 모의 입자의 크기를 실제 실험 입자의 크기와 동일하게 설정하면서 입자수가 지나치게 증가해 계산의 효율성이 현저히 낮아지게 되었고, 이로 인해 실제 자연 지형에 적용하는데 어려움을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서는 향상된 세굴 수치모의해석을 위해 반복법을 통해 안정적인 유체 압력을 계산하는 비압축성 SPH (ISPH)와 개별요소법을 연성한 ISPH-DEM 모델을 사용하였다. 또한, 계산속도 향상을 위해 하나의 입자가 다수의 작은 입자의 움직임을 대표하는 Coarse-grained 방법을 적용하여 기존 모델을 개선하였다. 개선된 모델을 NFLOW ISPH PURPLE 소프트웨어를 이용하여 세굴 현상을 수치 모의하였고 실험 결과와 검증을 진행한 결과, 세굴의 깊이, 너비, 형상 등을 비교하였을 때 약 10% 이내의 오차를 보였고, Coarse-grained 방법을 통한 입자 수 감소로 최소 13배 증가된 해석 속도를 보였다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서 제시된 모델이 실제 자연 지형에서의 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Since most of yacht sails are made of thin fabric, they form cambered sail shape that can efficiently generate lift power by aerodynamic interaction and by external force delivered from supporting structures such as mast and boom. When the incident flow and external force alter in terms of volume or condition, the shape of sail also change. This deformation in shape has impact on the peripheral flow and aerodynamic interaction of the sail, and thus it is related to the deformation of the sail in shape again. Therefore, the precise optimization of aerodynamic performance of sail requires fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis. In this study, the simplified sail without camber was under experiment for one-way FSI that uses the result of flow analysis to the structural analysis as load condition in an attempt to fluid-structure interaction phenomenon. To confirm the validity of the analytical methods and the reliability of numerical computation, the difference in deformation by the number of finite element was compared. This study reproduced the boundary conditions that sail could have by rigs such as mast and boom and looked into the deformation of sail. Sail has non-linear deformation such as wrinkles because it is made of a thin fabric material. Thus non-linear structural analysis was conducted and the results were compared with those of analysis on elastic material.

The one way fluid structure interaction analysis on advanced propeller blade for next generation turboprop aircraft. HS1 airfoil series are selected as a advanced propeller blade airfoil. Adkins method is used for aerodynamic design and performance analysis with respect to the design point. Adkins method is based on the vortex-blade element theory which design the propeller to satisfy the condition for minimum energy loss. propeller geometry is generated by varying chord length and pitch angle at design point. Blade sweep is designed based on the design mach number and target propulsion efficiency. The aerodynamic characteristics of the designed Advanced propeller were verified by CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic) and showed the enhanced performance than the conventional propeller. The skin-foam sandwich structural type is adopted for blade. The high stiffness, strength carbon/epoxy composite material is used for the skin and PMI(Polymethacrylimide) is used for the foam. Aerodynamic load is calculated by computational fluid dynamics. Linear static stress analysis is performed by finite element analysis code MSC.NASTRAN in order to investigate the structural safety. The result of structural analysis showed that the design has sufficient structural safety. It was concluded that structural safety assessment should incorporate the off-design points.

Ocean waves have huge amounts of energy, even larger than wind or solar, which can be extracted by some mechanical device. This can be done by creating a system of reacting forces, in which two or more bodies move relative to each other, while at least one body interacts with the waves. This moves the floater up and down. The floaters are connected to an arm structure, which are mounted on a fixed hull structure. Hence, the structure of the floater is very important. A static structural analysis with FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) analysis is conducted. To achieve the pressure load for the FSI analysis, the floater is simulated on a wave generator using rigid body motion. The structural analysis is done to examine the stresses on the whole system, and four types of flange and floater are optimized. The result shows that the structure of floater with wood support is the safest.

Numerical analysis techniques have been applied to obtain the vibroacoustic characteristics of the simplified model of a passenger-car cabin. Two kinds of coupled vibration-acoustic analysis, such as one-way coupling and full coupling, have been carried out via the interface between the results of vibration analysis by FEM and acoustic analysis by BEM. The comparison of two coupled analysis results show the fluid-structure interaction in terms of the coupled effect of the vibration and noise.

In this study, the safety of a rack structure was evaluated through seismic analysis considering fluid-structure interactions using a finite-element model. The rack structure was immersed under water, so it was influenced by the water. The fluid-structure interaction can be specified in terms of the hydrodynamic effect, which is defined as the added mass per unit length. Modal analysis and seismic analysis using the Floor Response Spectrum (FRS) were carried out under Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) and Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) conditions. The analytical maximum displacements of the rack structure were 0.29 and 0.36 mm under OBE and SSE conditions, respectively. The maximum stresses were 17.9 MPa under OBE conditions and 19.6 MPa under SSE conditions; these results corresponded to 23 % and 14% of the yield strength of the applied material, respectively.

In this study, the pumping performance of a piezoelectric valveless micropump is simulated. The micropump, which was developed in the previous work, is composed of a four-layer lightweight piezocomposite actuator, a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pump chamber, and two diffusers. The piezoelectric domain, the fluid domain and the structural domain are coupled in the three-dimensional simulation. We used ANSYS for the piezoelectric and structural domains and ANSYS CFX for the fluid domain. The effects of driven frequency on the flow rate have been investigated by simulating the flow characteristics for 10 Hz and 40 Hz driven frequencies. The flow rates with respect to driven frequencies up to 300 Hz have been calculated.

In general, simple fluid added mass method is used for the seismic and vibration analysis of the immersed structure to consider the fluid-structure interaction effect. Actually, the structural response of the immersed structure can be affected by both the fluid added mass and damping caused by the fluid viscosity. These variables appeared as a consistent matrix form with the coupling terms. In this paper, finite element formula for the inviscid fluid case and viscous fluid case are derived from the linearized Navier Stoke's equations. Using the finite element program developed in this paper, the analyses of fluid added mass and damping for the hexagon core structure of the liquid metal reactor are carried out to investigate the effect of fluid viscosity with variation of the fluid gap and Reynolds number. From the analysis results, it is verified that the viscosity significantly affects the fluid added mass and damping as the fluid gap size decrease. From the analysis results of eccentricity effect on the fluid added mass and damping of the concentric cylinders, the fluid added mass increase as the eccentricity increases, however the fluid damping increases only when the eccentricity is very severe.
