Finite Element Analysis of Shock-Induced Hull Cavitation

One-dimensional analytical model for the response of elastic coatings to water blast

“…Hence, numerical solvers are of great interests. Felippa and DeRuntz (1984) developed a cavitating acoustic finite element (CAFE) method. Later, Geers (2003, 2004) improved CAFE method and developed a cavitating acoustic spectral element (CASE) method.…”

Partitioned formulation of internal and gravity waves interacting with flexible structures

“…From the viewpoint of formulation, modeling, discretization and numerical solution, a wide range of computational procedures have been developed over the past three decades. They range from tightly-to-loosely coupled to locally partitioned [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70]. For example, FSI problems of blood flow typically adopt tightly coupled formulation and solution procedures [41], whereas aeroelasticity problems employ partitioned solution procedures [71].…”

Numerical modeling of complex interactions between underwater shocks and composite structures

“…On the contrary, L-L approaches are able to accurately capture the transient stress field in general solid structures [6][7][8]17,26,27]. The L-L approach has also been used in CAFE [10] and ABAQUS [1]. Both CAFE and ABAQUS discretize the fluid medium using Lagrangian finite element formulation based on linear acoustic assumptions (small fluid motion, finite fluid pressure, and constant fluid density and sound speed).…”

“…As summarized in the Sect. 2, there are different coupling schemes (see for example[10,37,42,46]), with pros and cons, to resolve the transient interactions. In the current work, an interface capturing technique, featuring the method of fluid characteristics and the method of ghost fluids, is used to couple the Eulerian fluid solver and the Lagrangian solid solver.A schematic drawing of the interface capturing technique is shown inFig.…”
