Reduced-order model for large amplitude vibrations of flexible structures coupled with a flow

Summary

This work concerns the numerical modeling of the vibrations of geometrically nonlinear structures coupled with a fluid flow. Firstly, a reduced-order model (ROM) for the geometrically nonlinear structure is proposed. Then, the aforementioned ROM is used to replace a Finite Element solver (FE) in the frame of a fluid-structure partitioned coupling on a two-dimensional example involving vortex induced vibrations.
