Numerical Simulation of Hyperelastic Sphere Water Entry Influenced by Surface Features
摘要
Abstract
The process of hyperelastic spheres entering water under the influence of various surface geometric features is investigated, with a focus on hyperelastic spheres that have concave and convex grooves on their surfaces. The arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) method is used to handle the fluid-structure interaction, considering the continuity and momentum equations of the fluid. Numerical calculations using the finite element method are employed. This incorporates a penalty function coupling algorithm and second-order accurate ALE advection techniques to address the fluid-structure coupling. The deformation, the stress distribution, and the characteristics of motion of the spheres after their entry into the water are analyzed.
