| Abstract: |
| A tree swaying in wind field is a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem, however, tree structure is very complicated and the problem cannot be simulated using the existing FSI simulation methods. A special FSI simulation method based on virtual coupling surface is proposed in this paper, and the method was realized by enclosing the tree canopy with a virtual continuous curved surface as fluid-structure interaction interface, the calculated wind load on the virtual curved surface was exerted onto the tree structure as an external load. The virtual coupling surface does not obstruct the motion of tree branches, and the difficulty of establishing coupling surface on every branch and leaves can be avoided. The solution algorithm of the numerical model is based on a non-boundary fitting FSI algorithm supplied by the MSC.Dytran code, and the method proposed can be easily implemented by inserting a user programmed module into the MSC.Dytran user programming interface. |
