A Finite Element solver for a coupled simulation of fluid and structure in an axisymmetric domain is presented. The method employs an explicit solution of the flow and structure variables. The computational domain of the fluid is discretised by unstructured triangles and rectangles while the sturcture domain is discretised by unstructured triangles only. For the purpose of code validation the solution of in total three test cases are shown. One test case deals with the structure only while the other two simulate heat transfer problems with a defined temperature distribution along a boundary wall and coupled conditions. Finally the code is used to simulate the heat load in a cryogenic H2/O2 rocket combustion chamber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
