Abstract

A combined immersed boundary–lattice Boltzmann approach is used to simulate the dynamics of the fluid–structure interaction of a hollow sealing strip under the action of pressure difference. Firstly, the multiple relaxation times LBM model, hyper-elastic material model and immersed boundary method were deduced. According to the strain characteristics of hyper-elastic materials and the specific situation of friction between the elastic boundary and solid boundary, the internal force and the external force on the immersed boundary were discussed and deduced, respectively. Then, a 2D calculation model of the actual hollow sealing strip system was established, during which technical problems such as the equivalent wall thickness of the sealing strip and the correction of the stiffness of the contact corner were solved. The reliability of the model was verified by comparing results of FEM simulation of quasi-static deformation. Following this, the simulation results of three typical cases of sealing strips were presented. The results show that when the sealing strip fails, there will be a strong coupling phenomenon between the flow field and the sealing strip, resulting in the oscillation of the flow field and the sealing strip at the same frequency.
