Cavitation in fluid-structure response (with particular reference to dams under earthquake loading) |
|
| Authors: | O C Zienkiewicz D K Paul E Hinton |
| Abstract: | The paper presents a general procedure for dealing with coupled fluid-structure interaction under dynamic load. This incorporates a facility for dealing with a cavitating fluid and is based on the Newton displacement potential. Several solutions are obtained for two-dimensional gravity dam problems illustrating the effects of cavitation on earthquake response and blast loading. |
