ADLS102 - Meridian oscillator fluidelastic



Summary:

The objective is to calculate the displacement of the piston of a “oscillator meridian fluid-rubber band”.
It is about piston-arises coupled with a fluid contained in a channel with rigid and fixed walls; the channel is
crossed by a wave of depressurization.

One considers the plane problem of this meridian model. This two-dimensional problem is brought back to a problem
monodimensional by considering by approximation that rates of transverse flow induced by
movement of the piston are transmitted instantaneously in axial speeds.

Only one modeling is used. The calculation of the modes is in formulation U, p,
.
Elements 2D are thus used; these elements are based on meshs QUAD4 for the fluid and for
piston, on meshs SEG2 for the interface between fluid and piston to take into account the fluid interaction
structure (
PHENOMENE= `MECANIQUE', MODELISATION=' 2D_FLUI_STRU'
).

The boundary conditions of nonreturn of the wave are carried out by modelizing a piston shock absorber with each
end; the excitation is carried out by applying a depression to the piston of input.

The fluid which one considers is water (hot), the model schematizing the interaction fluid-structure in
annular space between tank and envelope of core during a fast depressurization.

An exact analytical solution exists. Its comparison with the results produced by Code_Aster allows
to validate the taking into account of the fluid coupling structure in 2D.

Problem of reference
1.1 Geometry
One describes below the model of meridian oscillator fluidelastic schematizing the interaction
fluid-structure in annular space tank-envelope of core.
The meridian elastic fluid oscillator is a model of annular space tank-envelope of core of
jet engine; it consists of an oscillator (piston side-arises appearing a mobile wall) coupled with
a compressible fluid contained in a channel with rigid and fixed walls.
The channel is crossed by a wave of depressurization.
The figure [Figure 1.1-a] below illustrates the model described.

the rigid side piston moves according to

perpendicular to a wall.
A wave of depressurization arrives by the left; while moving towards the line (without possibility of
return) this wave aspires the piston which, by its resulting displacement, generates waves
propagating towards the ends of the conduit, supposed infinitely long so that there is no reflection.
One conceives a two-dimensional modeling of this system, represented with the figure [Figure 1.1-b]

Boundary conditions and loadings
Infinitely rigid piston of wall and with displacement only according to the vertical axis.
Infinite length of fluid thus not of reflection of end of the waves: this C.L is simulated in
model by a piston at each end, of null mass, moving only according to the x axis
and fitted with a shock absorber with adequate damping; these pistons are moreover more infinitely rigid.
Total reflection of the waves on infinitely rigid walls of the tube of fluid: realized simply in
omitting to modelize the wall by elements of structure.

One considers the plane problem of this meridian model of which geometrical characteristics,

approximation that rates of transverse flow

vibroacoustic equivalent to be modelized
In order to avoid the waves of return coming from the ends of a modeling inevitably of dimension
finished one fits these ends with systems “piston-shock absorber” as on the figure [Figure 3.1.1-a].
The channel is modelized over an overall length of 28 m sufficient to obtain with certainty, at least
the two first extrema of the curve of displacement of the piston without disturbance of a wave of
reflection at the ends.

The test relates to the displacement of the piston of wall in two moments given close to both

The table presents comparative of the 2 first extrema curve of displacement of the piston

The values obtained of the moments of extrema in one and the other case are estimated values
