"AcuSolve is unique and powerful. We have employed AcuSolve for some of our most challenging CFD
problems including vortex shedding around bridge piers, ventilation in mining facilities and complex
radiation heat transfer. The results are fast, reliable, scalable, and very stable - all required for a real-world
engineering project."---- Jon Berkoe
Manager Advanced Simulation & AnalysisBechtel National Inc.
“AcuSolve has been a staple at Whirlpool since 2004. The speed,
accuracy and robustness, ofAcuSolve have allowed us to take
simulation to the next level.AcuSolve is key to our simulation
based design strategy.”
Tom Gielda, Global MechanicalStructures & Systems
(see next few slides for examples)
"ACUSIM’s approach to direct-coupling provides a very powerful capability for the FSI solution space. The coupling of AcuSolve and Abaqus combines
specific, class-leading capabilities from each application and presents a strong offering to solve the most challenging FSI problems."

AccuracyAccuracyn Galerkin/Least-Squares finite element formulation:
l Originated at Stanford University by Prof. T.J.R. Hughes et. al.l Over 25 years of history in academia and industry l Very rich mathematical foundation
Ø Convergence proofsØ Error estimationØ Localization proofs, etc.
l Further enhanced at ACUSIM for large and complexindustrial applications

Accuracy: Independent of Element TopologyAccuracy: Independent of Element Topologyn What matters is the # of nodes and not topologyl Higher-order accurate, yet robust
Ø Second-order accurate in time and spacen Accuracy is independent of Element topology
Ø ALL VARIABLES: Velocity, Pressure, Turbulence, Temperature, Species, n Competitors usually “first order” turbulence
l Globally and locally mass, momentum and energy conservative
n Unstructured Mesh:l 4-node tetrahedronl 5-node pyramidl 6-node wedgel 8-node brickl 10-node tetrahedron

RobustnessRobustnessn Avoids the problems of the classical approach which use
segregated solversn Directly solves the fully coupled system of (u,v,w,P)
l Can add Energy equation as well (u,v,w,P,T)Ø Unique to AcuSolve
n Devised a proprietary iterative linear solver plus preconditionerwhich allows fast and robust solution of the coupled system
n The resulting nonlinear/linear solver is:l Robust, even for high aspect ratio
and distorted elementsl Efficient, in CPU and memory
utilizationl Practically parameter free, requires
little or no user interventionØ UR=0 by default
Page 14
Speed: Parallel ProcessingSpeed: Parallel Processingn Developed for Parallel Scalability
l Domain decomposition (Metis) is used to distribute elements and nodes to different processors
l Process is transparent to the user
n MPI/OpenMP used for distributed-memory/shared-memory machinesl HPMPI provided at no
cost to AcuSolve customers

PFSI PFSI -- Advantages & LimitationsAdvantages & Limitations
Ø Advantages:Ø The fluid and solid codes are run independently and separately
Ø No run time coupling is requiredØ No fluid mesh size limitation imposed by FSI
Ø Significantly more stable than alternative approachesØ Eliminates high wave number modes, yields smooth coupling
Ø Very efficientØ Problem setupØ CPU time
Ø Limitations:Ø Only linear solid/structural analysis
Ø No material or geometric nonlinearitiesØ Only simple contacts
DirectDirect--Coupling FSICoupling FSI
Ø Linear/Non-linear solid/structure Ø Most multi-code couplings are based on Conventional
Sequential Staggered (CSS)Ø Work well for problems with high mass-density ratio ( solid mass /
displaced fluid mass )Ø Unstable for moderate to low mass-density ratios
Ø ACUSIM has developed a new technology calledMulti-Iterative Coupling (MIC)Ø Excellent performance for a
wide-range of relative mass-densityand frequency ratios
