Summary
This paper describes a numerical model and its finite element implementation that is used to compute the cavitation effects in nonlinear acoustic fluid and the adjacent flexible structure interaction. The system is composed of two sub-systems, namely, the fluid and the flexible flat plate. A fully coupled approach using an iterative implicit partitioned scheme was implemented in the work reported in this paper which can account for the effects associated with a mutual interaction. A novel implementation of acoustic cavitation was made possible with the introduction of a simplified one-fluid cavitation model. The results obtained show that impact forces caused by the impinging shock wave and reloading by the cavitation region collapse have a considerable effect on the dynamic response of the flexible plate.
