Solid-extracellular fluid interaction is believed to play an important role in the strain-rate dependent mechanical behaviors of shoulder articular cartilages. It is believed that the kangaroo shoulder joint is anatomically and biomechanically similar to human shoulder joint and it is easy to get in Australia. Therefore, the kangaroo humeral head cartilage was used as the suitable tissue for th...

Knowledge of metal complexes in natural hydrothermal fluids is fundamental to our understanding of ore formation as well as other processes involving interactions between aqueous solutions and solids such as metamorphism. Our present understanding of the structure of metal complexes in natural hydrothermal fluids is incomplete due to the paucity of solubility and spectroscopic studies on geolog...

In this work, we present a conservative method for three-dimensional inviscid fluid-structure interaction problems. On the fluid side, we consider an inviscid Euler fluid in conservative form. The Finite Volume method uses the OSMP high-order flux with a Strang operator directional splitting [1]. On the solid side, we consider an elastic deformable solid with possible fragmentation. We use a Di...

In this paper, the sharp interface, direct forcing immersed boundary method developed by Yang and Stern (A simple and efficient direct forcing immersed boundary framework for fluidstructure interactions, J. Comput. Phys. 231 (2012) 5029-5061) is applied to the fully resolved simulation of particulate flow. This method uses a discrete forcing approach and maintains a sharp profile of the fluid/s...

This paper deals with the reflection and transmission of elastic waves from imperfect interface separating a micropolar elastic solid half-space and a fluid saturated porous solid half-space. Longitudinal and transverse waves impinge obliquely at the interface. Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are obtained and computed numerically for a specific model and results obta...

Abstract. In this paper we present the results of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) computations of an incompressible solid object and laminar incompressible viscous flows using a combined penalty-projection algorithm. The system consists of a fluid region governed by Navier-Stokes equations and a solid domain described by elastic and hyperelastic structure mechanical equations. In particular w...

In this paper the numerical simulation of interaction between Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluid flows and hyperelastic solids is approached. The algorithm employed a classical block-iterative scheme, in which solid mechanics problems are solved sequentially. A Galerkin finite element approach has been for approximation solid, while flow equations approximated using stabilized method based on Variati...
