Fluid-Structure Interaction

Hi all,
I’ve coupled 2 way fluid- structure interaction model and I have the simulation going very well accept at the boundary ends, What I miss?
Thanks in advance

Hi

for me your image looks like that you have applied "fixed" boundary displacement conditions on the two ends, which means "fixed"=no move, while probably you should have applied some sort of soft boundary, allowing the perifery circle to expand with the material elasticity conditions and just keep the symmetry axis fixed. This I believe applies to both ends.

Does this giveyou some clues ?

good luck
Ivar
