Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of Layered Water Intake Structure Considering Load Changes

Coupled vibration of water and stop log gate in the layered water intake structure will occur under the condition of the sudden load changes. A fluid-structure interaction (FSI) finite element model of the layered water intake structure of a hydropower station was established by using the finite element software ADINA to simulate the process of power on and off and the FSI phenomena of stop log gate during each process, and also verify the security of the scheme. The results show that fluid-structure interaction has a significant impact on the running of the layered water intake.
