Energetic decomposition of Distributed Systems with Moving Material Domains: the port-Hamiltonian model of Fluid-Structure Interaction

Abstract

We introduce the geometric structure underlying the port-Hamiltonian models for distributed parameter systems exhibiting moving material domains. The first part of the paper aims at introducing the differential geometric tools needed to represent infinite-dimensional systems on time-varying spatial domains in a port-based framework. A throughout description on the way we extend the structure presented in the seminal work [1], where only fixed spatial domains were considered, is carried through. As application of the proposed structure, we show how to model in a completely coordinate-free way the 3D fluid-structure interaction model for a rigid body immersed in an incompressible viscous flow as an interconnection of open dynamical subsystems.
