fluid structure interaction

Post by thinktank1985 »

Hii All..

I am working on a problem which involves fluid structure interaction and am looking for a software which has the capacity to handle such moving mesh application. Before I dig in deeper into Elmer, I was wondering if you guys could let me know, whether Elmer has that built into it. If not could you suggest any other software which has that pre built at this moment. While I have access to software such as Fluent and Comsol which can handle such fluid structure interactions, I dont have access to the code on these softwares, hence I am primarily looking for a software where I would be able to modify the code, since my problem is a bit complex.

I would be really grateful if you guys could help me out.

Thanks a lot

Yes, Elmer has FSI with moving mesh i.e. ALE formulation. Applications that have been solved include arterial flow simulations which is notiriously difficult due to the tight coupling between fluid and structure.
