The liquid phase is water with the following properties: The flow calculation uses the volume of fluid (VOF) method to model the free-surface. The elastic gate is made of rubber and has the following parameters: The corresponding parameters are: parameter The gap beneath the gate is exagerated for clarity. Pressure outlets and walls are indicated in blue and black, respectively. The geometry is provided in the following figure. The figure below shows the bending of the gate and the flowing water (with Fluent). Here, this 2D FSI calculation is performed with Fluent and Abaqus. This case has been examined numerically and experimentally by Antoci et al. The liquid, initially located in a free-surface tank, imposes a variable pressure on the bending flexible gate. This example simulates a dam-break on a top-fixed flexible gate. Python TubeFlow - Python TubeStructure - Surrogate Python TubeFlow - Python TubeStructure - Analytical
