Blast-induced damage and evaluation method of concrete gravity dam subjected to near-field underwater explosion

TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional fluid-solid coupling numerical model in LS-DYNA is proposed for simulating the shock wave propagation and its interaction with dam structures, in which the explosive, air, and water are meshed by an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation, while the dam and its foundation are measured by the Lagrange formulation.

FSI effects and seismic performance evaluation of water storage tank of AP1000 subjected to earthquake loading

TL;DR: In this article, a fluid-structure interaction algorithm of finite element technique is employed for the seismic analysis of water storage tank of AP1000, and the numerical results clearly show that the optimal h 2, h 2 / H w and m w / m t to structure are 8.8, 9.8 and 5.7235%, which can reduce the seismic response under earthquake loading most effectively.

Euler–Lagrange coupling with damping effects: Application to slamming problems

TL;DR: In this paper, a new coupling algorithm is developed to estimate the local high pressure load on a rigid wedge impacting a free surface, where the fluid is represented by solving Navier-Stokes equations with an Eulerian or ALE formulation, and a damping force based on the relative velocity of the fluid and the structure is introduced to smooth out non-physical high frequency oscillations induced by the penalty springs.
