This paper presents a finite-element analysis for the cylindrical rods oscillating periodically in an incompressible viscous fluid. A system of discretized equation is obtained from the appropriate Navier-Stokes and continuity equations through Galerkin’s process. The basic unknowns are velocity and pressure. A mixed interpolation method is used. The added mass and viscous damping coefficients which characterize the fluid reaction force due to the rods oscillation can be obtained through a line integration of stress and pressure around the circumference of the rods. For the special case of a cylindrical rod oscillating in a viscous fluid enclosed by a rigid, concentric cylindrical shell, the finite-element solution agrees well with the analytical closed-form solution, which, in turn, has been verified experimentally [1].

Abstract The goal of this paper is to present various types of iterative solvers: gradient iteration, Newton’s method and a quasi-Newton method, for the finite element solution of elliptic problems arising in Gao type beam models (a geometrical type of nonlinearity, with respect to the Euler–Bernoulli hypothesis). Robust behaviour, i.e., convergence independently of the mesh parameters, is proved for these methods, and they are also tested with numerical experiments.
