FDLV103 - Separate concentric spheres
by an incompressible fluid
Summary:
This test relates to the field of the fluids in the aspect inertial coupling. One carries out a modal analysis of one
rigid sphere connected to the solid mass by springs and diving in an incompressible volume of fluid of form
spherical.
The test validates the calculation of mass added in 3D as well as modal calculation for a system fluid-structure
coupled in 3D.

Characteristics of modeling
Modeling includes/understands:
·
side structure:
2 discrete elements of type
K_TR_L
(mesh SEG2)
1316 elements of hulls of the type
DKT
(mesh TRIA3)
·
fluid side:
1316 thermal elements of face of the type 3D
(mesh TRIA3)
14454 thermal elements of volume of the type 3D
(mesh TETRA4)
The nodes of the hull interns are locked according to all their degrees of freedom of rotation, like
their two D.D.L of translation DX and DY (
GROUP_NO: NOINT
).
The springs are embedded with the solid mass at the points P1 and P2 (
GROUP_NO: ENCAST
).
The hulls are thickness 1 Misters.

Summary of the results
One finds the values of the analytical results well.
The small variation observed on the added mass can come:
·
of a discretization not rather fine of the surface of the sphere,
·
or of a discretization not fine enough of fluid volume.
