Abstract:The newly developed node-based partly smoothed point interpolation method (NPS-PIM) and immersed technique are coupled to simulate fluid -structure interaction (FSI) problems associated with largely deformable solid/structure. Under the framework of immersed method, the governing equations can be decomposed into three components based on fictitious fluid assumption, i.e. equations for incompressible viscous fluid, FSI conditions and nonlinear solid. The semi-implicit characteristic-based split algorithm is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equation of incompressible viscous fluid, and the fictitious fluid domain can be used to calculate the FSI force. Owing to the properly softened stiffness by the node-based partly strain smoothing operation, NPS-PIM can effectively solve the large deformation problem of solids discretized with the simplest linear triangular mesh. The immersed framework makes the present method avoid the troublesome re-meshing process and the triangular mesh further simplifies the preprocessing operation. In comparison with the models using FEM and node-based smoothed point interpolation method (NS-PIM) as solid solver, numerical results have shown that the present method using NPS-PIM can provide more accurate solutions for both steady and transient problems with regard to large-displacement FSI problems.
