A novel approach to modeling plate deformations in fluid-structuren interactions

摘要

As computational power increases, so does the desire to use computational simulations while designing fuel plates. The downside is multi-physics simulations - or more specifically, fluid-structure interactions (FSI) as addressed herein - require a larger amount of computational resources. Current simulations of a single plate can take weeks on a desktop computer, thus requiring the use of multiple servers or a cluster for FSI simulations. While computational fluid dynamic (CFD) codes coupled to
