Finite element solution of incompressible fluid-structure vibration problems

In this paper we solve an eigenvalue problem arising from the computation of the vibrations of a coupled system, incompressible fluid - elastic structure, in absence of external forces. We use displacement variables for both the solid and the fluid but the fluid displacements are written as curls of...

Sumario:In this paper we solve an eigenvalue problem arising from the computation of the vibrations of a coupled system, incompressible fluid - elastic structure, in absence of external forces. We use displacement variables for both the solid and the fluid but the fluid displacements are written as curls of a stream function. Classical linear triangular finite elements are used for the solid displacements and for the stream function in the fluid. The kinematic transmission conditions at the fluid-solid interface are taken into account in a weak sense by means of a Lagrange multiplier. The method does not present spurious or circulation modes for non-zero frequencies. Numerical results are given for some test cases. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
