Coupling Analysis of FEM for Free-Surface Fluids and Rigid Body

Abstract


This paper presents a coupling method of rigid body motion and fluid dynamics analysis. This method will be required when we develop a numerical code for damage evaluation of structures under collision of tsunami debris. A debris is assumed to be a simple-shaped rigid body and a process of calculation of interaction between the rigid body and fluid FEM is described. Furthermore, the results are validated by a test result.
