Experimental analyses on the Hydroelastic Flow-Structure Interactions on pulsed impinged jet is measured with the FSIMS(Flow-Structure Interaction Measurement System. The nozzle diameter is D=15mm and two major experiments have been carried out for the cases of the distance between the nozzle tip to the elastic wall is 6.0. The pulsed jets were controlled by a solenoid valve and were impinged onto an elastic plate (material: silicon, diameter: 350mm, thickness: 0.5mm, hardness: 15). The Reynolds numbers were 20,000 and 24,000 when the jets were impinged with the volume velocities. The results showed that the elastic plate moved slightly to the opposite direction of the jet direction at the time of valve opening. It has been shown that the vortices travelling over the surface of the wall made the elastic wall distorted locally due to a vector forces between rotating forces of the vortex and a newly-incoming flow.

Marine structures are often in contact with inner or outer fluid as stern, ballast and oil tanks. The effect of interaction between fluid and structure has to be taken into consideration when we estimate the dynamic response of the structure appropriately. Fatigue damages can also be sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance. Thin walled tank structures in ships which are in contact with water and located near engine or propeller where vibration characteristics are strongly affected by the added mass of containing water. Therefore it is essentially important to estimate the added mass effect to predict vibration characteristics of tank structures. But it is difficult to estimate exactly the magnitude of the added mass because this is a fluid-structure interaction problem and is affected by the free surface, vibration modes of structural panels and the depth of water. I have developed a numerical tool of vibration analysis of 3-dimensional tank structure using finite elements for plates and boundary elements for fluid region. In the present study, the effect of added mass of containing water, the effect of structural constraint between panels on the vibration characteristics are investigated numerically and discussed. Especially a natural frequencies by the fluid interaction between 2 panels and a breath mode of the water tank are focused on.

Recently, some fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving the fluid impact loads interacting with structures, such as sloshing, slamming, green-water, etc., have been considered, especially in the ocean engineering field. The governing equations for both an elastic solid model and flow model were originally derived from similar continuum mechanics principles. In this study, an elastic model based on a particle method, the MPS method, was developed for simulating the FSI problems. The developed model was first applied to a simple cantilever deflection problem for verification. Then, the model was coupled with the fluid flow model, the PNU (Pusan National University modified)-MPS method, and applied to the numerical investigation of the coupling effects between a cantilever and a mass of water, which has variable density, free-falling to the end of the cantilever.

The shape of a yacht sail made of thin fabric materials is easily deformed by wind speed and direction and it is affected by the deformation of the standing rig such as mast, boom, shrouds, stays and spreaders. This deformed sail shape changes the air flow over the sail, it makes the deformation of the sail and the rig again. To get a sail performance accurately these interactive behavior of sail system should be studied in aspects of the aerodynamics and the fluid-structure interaction. In this study aerodynamic analysis for the sail system of a 30 feet sloop is carried out and the obtained dynamic pressure on the sail surface is applied as the loading condition of the calculation to get the deformations of the sail shape and the rig. Supporting forces by rig are applied as boundary condition of the structure deformation calculations. And the characteristics of the air flow and the dynamic pressure over the deformed sail shape is investigated repeatedly including the lift force and the location of CE.

Through the full scale ship collision response analysis of high speed passenger ship with underwater floating matters, the objective of this study is to perform the crashworthy safety assessment of its hull and passengers. For this safety assessment, diverse collision scenarios could be established through the thorough understanding of damage mechanisms due to the collision of its hydrofoil system with underwater floating matter examining the damage informations of its hull and passengers from the collision accidents, and through the estimation of the damages of its hull and passenger. The next step, crashworthy safety assessment of its hull and passengers, was carried out by the collision response analyses of high speed passenger ship with underwater floating matter using Fluid-Structure Interaction(FSI) analysis technique of LS-DYNA code in consideration of surrounding water, and using local zooming analysis technique.

산업사회가 발전함에 따라 거대한 플랜트(plant)를 포함하여, 원자력 발전소 와 로켓트 등과 같이 구조적 안전성과 정확한 성능의 확보가 극히 중요시되 는 설비들이 많이 등장하고 있다. 이들 설비를 구성하고 있는 파이프계 (piping system)는 강성 또는 연성재료 및 각종 valve등으로 구성되어 있기 때문에, 고온 고압 고속의 유체가 파이프 내부를 흐를 때 일으키는 진동현상 및 플랜트의 과도운전 상황에서의 일어나는 수격현상(water hammer 또는 steam hammer)과 이로 기인한 제반 진동문제는 안전성확보 측면에서 많은 관심이 고조되고 있다. 이와 관련되어 유체유발진동에 관한 많은 연구들이 수행되었으며, 파이프계에 장착된 밸브에 대한 연구는 Weaver등에 의하여 실험적, 이론적으로 수행되었다. 그들은 유동방정식에서 비정상 베르누이 방 정식을 사용하여 내부유동방정식을 간략하게 유도하였으나, jet flow에 의한 유체의 운동량변화를 고려하지 않고 해석되어 그 결과에 의문이 제기된다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 체크밸브(check valve)가 부착된 파이프계에서 일어 나는 유체유발진동 및 안정성에 관한 이론적 연구를 수행하여, 파이프계의 설계에 필요한 파라미터의 영향을 파악하고자 한다. 원자력 발전소와 같이 구조적 안정성이 요구되는 플랜트를 국내 기술로 설계 시공하려는 국내 실 정에서 이로 인한 파이프계에 발생할 수 있는 유체유발진동과 안정성을 예 측할 수 있는 해석이론은 파이프계의 설계 및 운전조건의 선정에 있어서 그 의의가 크다고 할 수 있겠다.

Hydraulic actuator is a primary component of the hydraulic valve systems. In this study, the thrust performance of hydraulic actuator was studied with different values of viscosity of hydraulic oil and rod diameter. Numerical analysis was performed using the commercial CFD code, ANSYS with 2-way FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction) method and $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model. Results show that increase in viscosity of hydraulic oil reduces the thrust of hydraulic actuator. In order to satisfy the output required of the actuator, it is necessary to compensate for the operating pressure. The results of pressure, velocity and thrust efficiency distributions in the hydraulic actuator were graphically depicted.

As machines become smaller and faster multileaf foil bearings are used to overcome the problems with heat, friction and wear Systems with foil bearings do not need a separate system for lubrication. These bearings are self acting and are therefore green systems. Until now, there have been many studies on the structural and dynamical performances. Therefore the object of the present study is to predict the flow and structural characteristics by using the Fluid/structure interaction method. The increase in RPM led to the increase in pressure, temperature difference, maximum velocity, Mach number, shear stress and torque. In the case of 90,000 RPM effects such as choking led to a non-lineararity in the system. Also the effect of eccentricity ratio was observed and showed that eccentricity increased the maximum pressure and the density difference while decreasing the shear stress and torque.

Impeller blades in the centrifugal compressor are subjected to periodic aerodynamic excitations by interactions between the impeller and the diffuser vanes (DV) in resonant conditions. This may cause high cycle fatigue (HCF) and eventually result in failure of the blades. In order to predict the structural response accurately, the aerodynamic excitation and the major resonant conditions were predicted using unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural analysis. Then, a forced vibration analysis was performed by going through one-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI). A numerical analysis procedure was established to evaluate the structural safety with respect to HCF. The numerical analysis procedure proposed in this paper is expected to contribute toward preventing HCF problems in the initial design stage of an impeller.
