Implementation of a Stuctural-Acoustic Homogenized Method for the Dynamic Analysis of a Tube Bundle With Fluid Structure Interaction Modeling in ABAQUS: Formulation and Applications
Résumé
The present paper deals with the dynamic analysis of a tube bundle with Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) modeling using a structural acoustic homogenized method. Such a coupled problem leads to many degrees of freedom [a system of very large matrices] to compute tube displacements and pressure in the acoustic domain, it is therefore irrelevant to use standard coupled methods in industrial cases. Instead, specific modelings have to be used, such as structural acoustic homogenized method. Implementation and applications of such a technique within the general finite element code ABAQUS are performed using the so-called UEL Fortran subroutine. Firstly, general theoretical aspects on the homogenized method proposed by Broc & Sigrist are revisited. Then, subroutines developments are validated comparing results from the homogenized method to those of a standard approach on the representative case of a 10×10 tube bundle in two-dimensional and three-dimensional configurations subjected to seismic loadings. Results show that: (i) homogenized elements can easily be used as standard elements from the ABAQUS elements library, (ii) the homogenized approach is accurate on a physical point of view and (iii) considerably reduces modeling effort and computational time compared to a standard structural acoustic method.
