“…Similar to the approach in [20] for compressible flow and that in [19] for incompressible flow on structured grids, a high-order characteristics-based scheme for incompressible flow and heat transfer on arbitrary unstructured grids has been developed in [21,33]. This method is used for the discretization of the convective part of the Navier-Stokes equations.…”

“…This is actually the solution of Eq. (9). Hence, the original unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are fully recovered.…”
“…For every vertex, as shown in Fig. 1, a control volume is constructed by joining the centres of the cells to the centres of the edges using the median dual of the tetrahedral grid [9]. Spatial discretization is performed by using the integral form of the conservation equations over the control volume surrounding node or vertex P, as shown in the following equation,…”
In this work, a new vertex-based finite volume method (FVM) using unstructured grids and cell-based data structure is proposed for computational analysis of two-and three-dimensional (2D/3D) general structural dynamic problems. The governing equations are spatially discretized by the FVM and an implicit dual time stepping scheme is employed to integrate the equations in time. The proposed method is applied to calculate deformations and dynamics of 2D and 3D cantilevers, as well as simply supported and clamped square plates. Computational results obtained are found to agree well with analytical solutions. It can be a viable alternative to the traditional finite element method (FEM) for structural dynamic calculations. And it can be seamlessly integrated into FVM-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver for simulating fluid-structure interaction (FSI).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
