| Abstract |
The study of the interaction between a structure and a fluid with heterogeneous physical properties in external or internal flows with a free surface is of high interest in many practical problems of civil and environmental engineering, as well as in numerous industrial processes. Examples of this type of heterogeneous flows are debri flows, flood flows, gas-liquid transport, crude oil recovery, sediment and pollutant transport in rivers, fuel injection in engines and mould filling problems in casting and polymer forming processes, to name only a few.
The objective of the project is to develop new mathematical model and numerical methods for building accurate and robust computer codes applicable to solving fluid-structure interaction problems involving heterogeneous fluids with free surface.
In the HFLUIDS project we will develop and validate new computational techniques based on the integration of an innovative particle-based method and the finite element method, new frictional contact algorithms for bodies which move and interact in liquids, new time integration schemes allowing large time steps and GPU and parallel processing techniques to reach acceptable results for the modelling of free surface heterogeneous flows and their interaction with structures.
The main outcome of the HFLUIDS project will be a collection of numerical methods and computer codes for the study of fluid flow problems related to natural water hazards and their effects on civil constructions and/or the optimal design of casting and polymer forming manufacturing processes involving mould filling situations, among others. |
