FOAM-FSI

Features

  • Partitioned Fluid-Structure Interaction solvers build with standard foam-extend fluid and solid solvers.
  • Algorithms for strongly coupled FSI: Aitken under relaxation, IQN-ILS or Anderson acceleration, manifold mapping acceleration, and space mapping acceleration.
  • Consistent first and second order time integration schemes for incompressible flow, structural dynamics and FSI.
  • Efficient implementation of mesh motion solver based on radial basis function interpolation.
  • Run fluid-structure-acoustics simulations with the coupling tool preCICE.
  • Block-coupled transient incompressible flow solver.
  • Arbitrary high order time discretization for incompressible flow solver based on the PIMPLE algorithm.

Installation

First, compile foam-extend-3.1, the nextRelease branch. A detailed description for the compilation of foam-extend-3.1 can be found here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/foam-extend-3.1. Note that FOAM-FSI uses the nextRelease branch as shown below:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/foam-extend-3.1
cd foam-extend-3.1
git checkout nextRelease
./Allwmake.firstInstall

To compile the FSI library:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/davidsblom/FOAM-FSI.git
cd FOAM-FSI
./Allwmake.firstInstall

The first time the library is compiled, use the Allwmake_firstInstall script which installs the necessary settings in foam-extend-3.1/etc/prefs.sh, and compiles several third party packages. Thereafter, you can use the Allwmake script.

Prerequisites

gcc 4.8 or higher due to C++11 features.

Test suite

A test suite is available implementing a large number of unit and functional tests within the googletest framework. In case you run into problems with the FSI solver, preferably run the test suite and attach a log of the test results to your bug report. To run the test suite:
