In this chapter we present some recent numerical studies on fluid–structure interaction problems in the presence of free surface flow. We consider the dynamics of a rowing boat, simulated as a rigid body. We focus on an approach based on formulating the floating body problem as an inequality constraint on the water elevation. A splitting procedure is used to develop an efficient numerical scheme where the inequality constraint is imposed only on a wave-like equation representing an hydrostatic approximation of the hydrodynamic equations. Numerical tests demostrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedure.

Abstract
In this chapter we present some recent numerical studies on fluid–structure interaction problems in the presence of free surface flow. We consider the dynamics of a rowing boat, simulated as a rigid body. We focus on an approach based on formulating the floating body problem as an inequality constraint on the water elevation. A splitting procedure is used to develop an efficient numerical scheme where the inequality constraint is imposed only on a wave-like equation representing an hydrostatic approximation of the hydrodynamic equations. Numerical tests demostrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
