Author:Haelterman, R; Bogaers, Alfred EJ; Degroote, JDate:Feb 2018In many cases, different physical systems interact, which translates to coupled mathematical models. We only focus on methods to solve (strongly) coupled problems with a partitioned approach, i.e. where each of the physical problems is solved ...Read more
Author:Suliman, Ridhwaan; Oxtoby, Oliver F; Malan, AG; Kok, SDate:Jul 2012This work details the development of a computational tool that can accurately model strongly-coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, with a particular focus on thin-walled structures undergoing large, non-linear deformations. The ...Read more
Author:Suliman, Ridhwaan; Oxtoby, Oliver F; Malan, AG; Kok, SDate:Jan 2011A strongly coupled finite volume-finite element fluid-structure interaction (FSI) scheme is developed. Both an edge-based finite volume and Galerkin finite element scheme are implemented and evaluated for modelling the mechanics of solids. ...Read more
Author:Pandelani, Thanyani A; Schutte, Zelldra; Wium, ElsmariDate:Sep 2018Blast waves from landmines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) produce an almost instantaneous rise in pressure which causes Primary Blast Injuries (PBI). The primary blast injuries are caused directly by the blast wave and encompasses ...Read more

Author:Suliman, Ridhwaan; Oxtoby, Oliver F; Malan, AG; Kok, SDate:Jan 2015A fully-coupled partitioned finite volume–finite volume and hybrid finite volume–finite element fluid-structure interaction scheme is presented. The fluid domain is modelled as a viscous incompressible isothermal region governed by the ...Read more
Author:Suliman, Ridhwaan; Peake, NDate:Jul 2015The deformation of slender elastic structures due to the bulk motion of fluid around it is a common multiphysics problem encountered in many applications. In this work we implement two computational FSI approaches in a partitioned manner: a ...Read more
