Fluid-Structure Interaction Module

System Documentation List

The Fluid-Structure Interaction Module is a library of simulation tools that solve fluid and structure problems, wherein, their behavior is inter-dependent. This module provides a simple approach for implementing even advanced capabilities:

Plug-n-play design enables users to incorporate the relevant physics for specific and varied simulations
Straight-forward procedure for adding new physics

This module currently is capable of simulating fluid-structure interaction behavior using an acoustic formulation for the fluid. More information about this physics is available here and in Dhulipala et al. (2022). Efforts are underway to add more capabilities such as Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian to this module.

Explore the Capabilities

The Fluid-Structure Interaction Module can be used in a variety of simulations where the fluid and structural components are inter-dependent on each other. That is, the fluid behavior is affected by the structural behavior and vice-versa.
