Fluid-Structure Interaction

Tutorial cases for fluid-structure interaction simulations using multiPhysicsFoam.

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) tutorials couple a fluid solver with a structural solid solver across a moving interface using the ALE framework.

Cases


Beam in Cross Flow

Flexible beam deflected by a laminar cross-flow — FSI validation case.

Hron-Turek FSI3

FSI3 benchmark (Hron & Turek 2006): laminar channel flow around a rigid cylinder with an attached elastic beam — unsteady periodic solution.
