FSI: Pressure and Normal Force don't match with expected values

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on slosh damping in a cylindrical tank. I try to set a two-ways FSI model to study the impact of a vibrating latex membrane located on the bottom of the tank on free-surface waves. To start progressively, I am trying to run a simulation without any forced motion for the membrane. I want to check the deformation of this 1mm thick membrane due to the water weight. The problem is that the pressure in the bottom of the tank and the normal force on the interface are not what could be expected with a simple hydrostatic model. When I do the math, I obtain an expected 22N force and a +1545Pa relative pressure. But the simulation gives me: a -0.05N force and a -2Pa. I already performed a simulation with just the CFD and I obtained the expected values, and I keep the same CFD setup for the FSI simulation so I really don't know what is wrong. Any ideas are welcomed! Thank you, Geraud. |

Do you have gravity vector defined? And are you pulling out Absolute Pressure as your pressure?

Yes, I have selected the buoyancy model for the fluid and I monitor the pressure (not the absolute pressure) with CFD-Post, on the interface and in the fluid.

Concerning Pressure difference:
I believe the hyrdostatic portion of the pressure in CFX is carried in Absolute Pressure and not in Pressure. |

Actually, I was just checking the absolute pressure instead and I obtain: 101328Pa at the interface and inside the fluid. So no sign of the water weight there too.

In my limited time I looked at this, I think:
VFAir = 1-VFWater VFWater = step((z-UpH)/1[m]) Based on VFWater the above CEL indicates to me that your z axis is pointing to the bottom of the screen. InitPressure = DenWater*g*(UpH-z)*VFWater UpH = 0.158[m] and BUOYANCY MODEL: Buoyancy Reference Density = 1.185 [kg m^-3] Gravity X Component = 0 [m s^-2] Gravity Y Component = 0 [m s^-2] Gravity Z Component = -g Option = Buoyant BUOYANCY REFERENCE LOCATION: Option = Automatic END indicates that your z axis is pointing to the top of the screen. Fix them to be consistant. I suggest changing: VFWater = step((UpH-z)/1[m]) |

Oh! I really did that?!
Shame on me! I don't know how I could missed it. Thank you very much. Geraud. |
