Water column impact on rigid barrier using CEL method in Abaqus

Project Overview

This tutorial focuses on the impact of a water column on a rigid barrier using the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method in the Abaqus software.

The main objective of this simulation is to investigate the behavior of the water column when it impacts the rigid barrier and to observe the deformation and turbulence of the water flow during the analysis.

Model Description

The model consists of a water column, a tank, and a rigid barrier. The water column is modeled using the Eulerian approach, while the tank and barrier are modeled as discrete rigid bodies.

Eulerian Modeling of Water

In this model, the water column is simulated using the Eulerian method. The Eulerian formulation is suitable for fluid problems involving large deformation and significant movement of the material.

During the simulation, the water moves through the Eulerian domain and impacts the rigid barrier.

Water Impact on the Rigid Barrier

After the water column impacts the rigid barrier, the water undergoes significant deformation and changes its flow pattern.

The simulation captures the interaction between the water and the rigid barrier and provides a clear visualization of the water flow during the impact process.

Water Flow and Turbulence

One of the important results of this simulation is the observation of water deformation and turbulence after the impact.

The water flow changes significantly as it interacts with the rigid barrier, allowing the development of complex flow patterns to be observed during the analysis.

Simulation Results

The Abaqus results demonstrate the behavior of the water column during impact with the rigid barrier. The deformation and turbulence of the water flow can be clearly observed throughout the simulation.
