  • The One-Way FSI Method Based on RANS-FEM for the Open Water Test of a Marine Propeller at the Different Loading Conditions
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article The One-Way FSI Method Based on RANS-FEM for the Open Water Test of a Marine Propeller at the Different Loading Conditions Mobin Masoomi 1 and Amir Mosavi 2,3,* 1 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Babol, Iran; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Civil Engineering, Technische Universität Dresden, 01069 Dresden, Germany 3 John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics, Obuda University, 1034 Budapest, Hungary * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This paper aims to assess a new fluid–structure interaction (FSI) coupling approach for the vp1304 propeller to predict pressure and stress distributions with a low-cost and high-precision approach with the ability of repeatability for the number of different structural sets involved, other materials, or layup methods. An outline of the present coupling approach is based on an open- access software (OpenFOAM) as a fluid solver, and Abaqus used to evaluate and predict the blade’s deformation and strength in dry condition mode, which means the added mass effects due to propeller blades vibration is neglected. Wherein the imposed pressures on the blade surfaces are extracted for all time-steps. Then, these pressures are transferred to the structural solver as a load condition. Although this coupling approach was verified formerly (wedge impact), for the case in-hand, a further verification case, open water test, was performed to evaluate the hydrodynamic part of the solution with an e = 7.5% average error. A key factor for the current coupling approach is Citation: Masoomi, M.; Mosavi, A.

  • Wind Field Simulation in a Wind Farm Using Openfoam and Actuator Line Model

Tuncery ∗ Middle East Technical University (METU) Department of Aerospace Engineering 06800 Ankara, TURKEY e-mail: [email protected] yMiddle East Technical University (METU) Department of Aerospace Engineering 06800 Ankara, TURKEY e-mail: [email protected] - Web page: http://www.ae.metu.edu.tr/tuncer/ Key words: Aerospace applications, Wind turbine, HAWT, Actuator Line Model, Wake calculation Abstract. In this study, a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) is modeled using so called Actuator Line Model (ALM), where full resolution of boundary layer over turbine blades is not needed and hence computation is cheaper. Results are validated against other numerical and experimental studies as well as panel method (XFOIL) and Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) results which are still widely employed in today's wind energy industry. Important simulation and operation parameters and their effects on accuracy are discussed. It is concluded that within a certain range of tip speed ratios, ALM gives acceptable results and is a promising model for full-scale wind farm simulations to estimate energy production. 1 INTRODUCTION Market share of renewable energy grows at ever highest rates and wind turbine and wind farm design processes becomes more sophisticated with the advancements in computation technologies. There are two main design problems in wind energy: • Design of an individual wind turbine at its ideal operation conditions, where classical methods like 2D airfoil theory, potential flow theory and Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) are still widely used, • Design of a complete wind farm, in which statistical meteorological data is used for macro-siting and simple analytical or empirical methods are used for micro-siting.

  • Development of a Coupling Approach for Multi-Physics Analyses of Fusion Reactors
    Development of a coupling approach for multi-physics analyses of fusion reactors Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Ingenieurwissenschaften (Dr.-Ing.) bei der Fakultat¨ fur¨ Maschinenbau des Karlsruher Instituts fur¨ Technologie (KIT) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Yuefeng Qiu Datum der mundlichen¨ Prufung:¨ 12. 05. 2016 Referent: Prof. Dr. Stieglitz Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Moslang¨ This document is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution – Share Alike 3.0 DE License (CC BY-SA 3.0 DE): http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/ Abstract Fusion reactors are complex systems which are built of many complex components and sub-systems with irregular geometries. Their design involves many interdependent multi- physics problems which require coupled neutronic, thermal hydraulic (TH) and structural mechanical (SM) analyses. In this work, an integrated system has been developed to achieve coupled multi-physics analyses of complex fusion reactor systems. An advanced Monte Carlo (MC) modeling approach has been first developed for converting complex models to MC models with hybrid constructive solid and unstructured mesh geometries. A Tessellation-Tetrahedralization approach has been proposed for generating accurate and efficient unstructured meshes for describing MC models. For coupled multi-physics analyses, a high-fidelity coupling approach has been developed for the physical conservative data mapping from MC meshes to TH and SM meshes. Interfaces have been implemented for the MC codes MCNP5/6, TRIPOLI-4 and Geant4, the CFD codes CFX and Fluent, and the FE analysis platform ANSYS Workbench. Furthermore, these approaches have been implemented and integrated into the SALOME simulation platform. Therefore, a coupling system has been developed, which covers the entire analysis cycle of CAD design, neutronic, TH and SM analyses.

  • Official Precice Adapters for Standard Open-Source Solvers
    Proceedings of the 7th GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics for Young Scientists from Academia and Industry October 11-13, 2017 in Stuttgart, Germany Official preCICE Adapters for Standard Open-Source Solvers Benjamin Uekermann1*, Hans-Joachim Bungartz1, Lucia Cheung Yau1, Gerasimos Chourdakis1 and Alexander Rusch1 Micro Abstract To deal with the increasing complexity of today's multiphysics applications, the reuse of existing simulation software often becomes a necessity. Coupling to open-source simulation codes, in particular, is a time-efficient way to tackle new applications. The open-source coupling library preCICE enables such coupling in a minimally-invasive way. In this contribution, we give an overview on ready-to-use preCICE adapters for standard open-source solvers, namely CalculiX, Code Aster, OpenFOAM, and SU2. 1Department of Informatics, Technical University of Munich, Garching, Germany *Corresponding author: [email protected] Introduction The preCICE library [1] allows to couple existing simulation software to overall multi-physics simulations in a flexible way at run-time. To this end, preCICE offers methods for equation coupling, such as quasi-Newton acceleration schemes, methods for data mapping, such as radial- basis function interpolation, and fully parallel communication means, based on either MPI or TCP/IP. preCICE is implemented in C++, but offers an API in most standard scientific computing languages. The software is actively developed at the Technical University of Munich and the University of Stuttgart and is published under the free LGPL license on GitHub (http://www.precice.org, https://github.com/precice). A recent article [8] summarizes the development of preCICE over the last ten years for a general audience.
