  • An efficient high-performance computing based three-dimensional numerical wave basin model for the design of fluid-structure interaction experiments

    Creator:
    Nimmala, Seshu B.
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is an interesting and challenging interdisciplinary area comprised of fields such as engineering- fluids/structures/solids, computational science, and mathematics. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the design of coastal infrastructure (such as bridges, levees) subjected to harsh environments from natural forces such as tsunamis, storm surges,...

  • Tsunami Simulation Using OpenSees : Validation of Bridge Response and Exploration of Shallow Water Flow

    Creator:
    Cressman, Luke R.
    Abstract:
    The finite element software framework, OpenSees, has been used by researchers to simulate the response of structural and geotechnical systems to earthquake loading. Implementation of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) has made it possible to simulate hydrodynamic forces through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in OpenSees. To validate the FSI implementation...

  • Large–Scale Laboratory Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Tsunami Forces on a Bridge Deck

    Creator:
    Xiang, Tao
    Abstract:
    The fluid impact forces on a bridge superstructure in horizontal and vertical directions due to tsunamis represented by solitary waves are investigated through a large-scale laboratory experiment and numerical simulations. The experiment is conducted in a two-dimensional wave basin using a 1:5 scaled reinforced concrete bridge deck model tested under...

  • An Approach to Modeling Fuel Plate Deformations in Fluid-Structure Interactions

    Creator:
    Howard, Trevor
    Abstract:
    As computational power increases, so does the desire to use fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software to design complex systems and components such as fuel plates. Presently, an effort is underway to support the design and qualification of a new nuclear fuel material which is intended for applications in select, plate-type, research...

  • Comprehensive Characterization of Motion of a Helical Coil Due to Flow Induced Vibration

    Creator:
    Harmon, Paul L.
    Abstract:
    Mechanical vibrations compromise the integrity of key components of thermal power plants. Without careful design, strong resonances during steady state operation can wear these components to the point of failure, leading to an unsafe situation that may force a plant to shut down. The purpose of this research is to...

  • Computational methods for protein-protein interface prediction

    Creator:
    Tribelhorn, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Protein-protein interactions underlie all biological processes and are a field of study that has wide implications throughout many other fields including medicine, genetics, biology, and ecology. Proteins are the building blocks and primary actors of life. They work together to accomplish virtually every task within a cell, including, metabolism, signal...

  • Interactive Genetic Algorithms for watershed planning : an investigation of usability and human-centered design

    Creator:
    Piemonti, Adriana Debora
    Abstract:
    Degradation of watersheds is a major concern in areas where adverse climate effects and unsustainable use of the natural resources have caused extensive stresses to watershed systems (e.g., increased floods, increased droughts, worsened in-stream water quality) through the years. While considerable efforts are being made to generate technical solutions that...

  • Modeling and simulation of volume displacement effects in multiphase flow

    Creator:
    Cihonski, Andrew John
    Abstract:
    There are many options available when selecting a computational model for two-phase flows. It is important to understand all the features of the model selected, including when the model is appropriate and how using it may affect your results. This work examines how volume displacement effects in two-phase Eulerian-Lagrangian models...
