The Institute Biomedical Technology and the Department of Flow, Heat and Combustion Mechanics of Ghent University have for more than a decade worked on the development and analysis of algorithms for the simulation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid-structure interaction (FSI). These algorithms are applied to blood flow in large arteries, among others. For this Challenge, grid generation and CFD simulations have been performed by postdoctoral fellow Joris Degroote, using an open-source finite volume flow solver, OpenFOAM.

AbstractIn this study, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is implemented through a finite-volume approach to perform 2-D, incompressible, and turbulent fluid flow analyses on structured grids. Even though the approach followed in this study necessitates more computational effort compared to the standard LBM (the so called stream and collide scheme), using the finite-volume method, the known limitations of the stream and collide scheme on lattice to be uniform and Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) number to be one are removed. Moreover, the curved boundaries in the computational domain are handled more accurately with less effort. These improvements pave the way for the possibility of solving fluid flow problems with the LBM using coarser grids that are refined only where it is necessary and the boundary layers might be resolved better.

The paper deals with an implicit partitioned solution approach for the numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems. The solution procedure involves the finite-volume flow solver FASTEST, the finite-element structural solver FEAP, and the coupling interface MpCCI. The method is verified and validated by comparisons with benchmark results and experimental data. Investigations concerning the influence of the grid movement technique and an underrelaxation on the performance of the method are presented.
