[en] Fluid-particle-structure interactions (FPSI) govern a wide range of natural and engineering phenomena, from landslides to erosion in abrasive water jet cutting nozzles. Despite the importance of studying FPSI, existing numerical frameworks often simplify or neglect certain physics, limiting their applicability. This work introduces a novel 6-way CFD-DEM-FEM momentum coupling for FPSI using a partitioned coupling approach, providing a flexible and adaptable solution.
Our prototype uses the preCICE coupling library to couple three numerical solvers: OpenFOAM for fluid dynamics, eXtended Discrete Element Method (XDEM) for particle motion, and CalculiX for structural mechanics. The coupling approach extends existing adapters and introduces a novel XDEM preCICE adapter, allowing data exchange over surface and volumetric meshes.
Numerical experiments successfully demonstrate the 6-way coupling, showcasing fluid-structure interactions and particle dynamics. The versatility of the partitioned coupling approach is highlighted, allowing the interchangeability of different single-physics solvers and facilitating the study of complex FPSI phenomena.
This article offers a thorough description of the methodology, coupling strategies, and detailed results, offering insights into the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed approach. This work lays the groundwork for a scalable and customizable FPSI simulation framework with a wide range of applications.
