Tracking Down Vibrations Fast with FSI - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V3 I2

With high-speed iterations between mechanical and fluids software, fluid structure interaction quickly pinpointed the cause of damaging vibrations and assessed new designs for offshore oil and gas equipment. First, engineers performed a modal analysis with ANSYS Mechanical software, which calculated relatively low first natural frequencies in the range of 15 Hz to 25 Hz. The mode shapes from this analysis indicated that the maximum vibration amplitude would occur in the lower cone of each structure. Next, the engineering team performed a fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulation to study the turbulent flow of exhaust gases through the stack and the resulting pressure fluctuations on the sidewalls.

Designers use structural and hydrodynamic analyses to ensure that working vessels meet challenging demands in harbor and at sea.

Designing Safe and Reliable Ships - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V3 I2

Delta Marine Engineering uses up-front simulation to design ships that are more comfortable and last longer. Complex fluid and structural interactions govern the performance of a ship, so Delta Marine uses ANSYS Mechanical structural mechanics software and ANSYS FLUENT fluid dynamics software early in the design process to understand the intricacies. Engineers can identify vibration and other problems early on and make changes, such as altering a propeller design, to get the design right the first time. This avoids the need for expensive changes that could run into millions of dollars if the problem is not discovered until after the ship is launched.
