Article: Interaction of two cylinders immersed in a viscous fluid. On the effect of moderate Keulegan–Carpenter numbers on the fluid forces

Submitted by lagrangr on

This work deals with the hydrodynamic interaction of two parallel circular cylinders, with identical radii, immersed in a viscous fluid initially at rest. One cylinder is stationary while the other one is imposed a harmonic motion with a moderate amplitude of vibration. The direction of motion is parallel to the line joining the centers of the two cylinders. The two dimensional fluid–structure problem is numerically solved by the Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method implemented in the open-source CFD code TrioCFD.

Discussion of fracture paper #37 - A Novel Approach Improving Mode I+III Cohesive Zone Modelling

Submitted by ESIS on

The advantage of simplicity is that mechanics and physics can be understood and predicted just by using pen and paper. In the end, numerics may have to be used but then you should already have a pretty good idea of what happens. The other way around, starting with numerics and a limited toolbox of models will seldom lead to anything new.

Uncovering stress fields and defects distributions in graphene using deep neural networks

Submitted by Nuwan Dewapriya on

 

In our latest article, “Uncovering stress fields and defects distributions in graphene using deep neural networks”: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10704-023-00704-z , we showed that conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs) could transform complex deformation fields into stress fields by eliminating the need to evaluate elasticity distributions and develop complex nonlinear constitutive relations.
