Application of a Finite Volume Method to the Computation of Interaction between Thin Linearly Elastic Structures and Incompressible Fluid Flows

摘要

Mathematical model describing plate, membrane, truss and beam small deformations is given in this paper. Finite volume discretization of the governing equations and the solution procedure for computation of coupled fluid flow and structural deformations are also presented. The applicability and accuracy of the method is demonstrated on three simple examples.
