Title: Modeling Concept and Numerical Simulation of Ultrasonic Wave Propagation in a Moving Fluid-Structure Domain based on a Monolithic Approach

Abstract

Here in the present study, we propose a novel multiphysics model that merges two time-dependent problems – the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and the ultrasonic wave propagation in a fluid-structure domain with a one directional coupling from the FSI problem to the ultrasonic wave propagation problem. This model is referred to as the “eXtended fluid-structure interaction (eXFSI)” problem. This model comprises isothermal, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with nonlinear elastodynamics using the Saint-Venant Kirchhoff solid model. The ultrasonic wave propagation problem comprises monolithically coupled acoustic and elastic wave equations. To ensure that the fluid and structure domains are conforming, we use the ALE technique. The solution principle for the coupled problem is to first solve the FSI problem and then to solve the wave propagation problem. Accordingly, the boundary conditions for the wave propagation problem are automatically adopted from the FSI problem at each time step. The overall problem is highly nonlinear, which is tackled via a Newton-like method. The model is verified using several alternative domain configurations. To ensure the credibility of the modeling approach, the numerical solution is contrasted against experimental data.
