This PhD dissertation deals with the study of some fluid-structure interaction models in shallow water regimes. Particularly, the manuscript brings contributions on interactions between a fluid with fixed and floating rigid bodies. In a first part, we start by studying the mathematical modelling and simulations of an oscillating water column. In this device, the waves come from shore, find a bottom step, and then reach a chamber to change the air volume to drive a turbine to produce electricity. In this first approach, constant atmospheric pressure is assumed on the free surface of the fluid inside the chamber. Waves governed by the one-dimensional shallow water equations in the presence of this device are essentially reformulated as two transmission problems: the first one is associated with a step in front of the structure, and the second one is related to the wave structure interaction. On the other hand, by considering the notion of Riemann invariants to obtain the discretized version of the transmission conditions, we implement the Lax-Friedrichs scheme to get numerical solutions of the model. Furthermore, by using the concept of nodal profile controllability, we address the problem of boundary controllability for the introduced model. Finally, we close the first part of the thesis by proposing a second nonlinear model of an oscillating water column device involving a transmission condition that describes a time-dependent air pressure flow inside the chamber, which is obtained by considering the free surface Bernoulli's equation and properties relative to the shallow water regime. In a second part of the manuscript, we study some models describing the vertical motion of a solid floating at the free surface of a viscous shallow fluid. The rigid structure involved is assumed to be controlled by a vertical force exerted via an actuator. We start by proving the well-posedness of the model, which is obtained by considering adequate function spaces and convenient operators between them. Furthermore, by obtaining an explicit form of the transfer function associated, we prove some results on the input-output stability of the system. Finally, we study a Cummins type integro-differential equation describing the motion of a partially immersed structure floating in a viscous fluid in an unbounded domain. Relying on the stability results of Matignon for fractional systems, the explicit solutions of the system are established, leading to an explicit knowledge of the long-time behaviour of them.

This book is devoted to analytically approximate methods in the nonlinear dynamics of a rigid body with cavities (containers) partly filled by a liquid. The methods are normally based on the Bateman-Luke variational formalism combined with perturbation theory. The derived approximate equations of spatial motions of the body-liquid mechanical system (these equations are called mathematical models in the title) take the form of a finite-dimensional system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations coupling quasi-velocities of the rigid body motions and generalized coordinates responsible for displacements of the natural sloshing modes. Algorithms for computing the hydrodynamic coefficients in the approximate mathematical models are proposed. Numerical values of these coefficients are listed for some tank shapes and liquid fillings. The mathematical models are also derived for the contained liquid characterized by the Newton-type dissipation. Formulas for hydrodynamic force and moment are derived in terms of the solid body quasi-velocities and the sloshing-related generalized coordinates. For prescribed harmonic excitations of upright circular (annular) cylindrical and/or conical tanks, the steady-state sloshing regimes are theoretically classified; the results are compared with known experimental data. The book can be useful for both experienced and early-stage mechanicians, applied mathematicians and engineers interested in (semi-)analytical approaches to the "fluid-structure" interaction problems, their fundamental mathematical background as well as in modeling the dynamics of complex mechanical systems containing a rigid tank partly filled by a liquid.

A monolithic method for numerically solving fluid--structure interactions between viscous flow on an unbounded domain and rigid body system is presented. The vorticity form of incompressible Navier--Stokes equations is solved on a uniform Cartesian grid with immersed boundary projection method. The Lattice Green's function based integrating factor technique developed by Liska and Colonius is used to analytically evaluate the viscous diffusion term. Half-explicit Runge--Kutta method is applied for both fluid and rigid body system in time marching. The overall fluid--body saddle point system is designed to be arranged in a way to reveal an added-mass term for viscous flow in the solving procedure of block LU decomposition. The added-mass term is inherently embedded into the coupled system, compared to its explicit use in previous fluid--structure interaction studies. Because the added-mass augments inertia of the body system, the algorithm is proved to be stable for arbitrary small density ratios including zero mass case. Interaction force and boundary conditions on the interface are kept implicitly and solved as internal variables , and no iteration process or parameter tuning is needed. Both passive and active motions of rigid body system are allowed, with joint constraint and active motions enforced through Lagrange multipliers. With a unified treatment, the interaction force on the immersed surface is also enforced through Lagrange multipliers. Multiple applications are demonstrated, including cylinder rising/falling under gravity with different mass ratios, actively oscillating airfoil in a free stream, free swimming of an articulated fish, and self-excited oscillation of an articulated flag. Comparisons are made with previous studies and good agreement is found. Another application of a two-component linked plates model is studies for physical behaviour of bifurcation, hysteresis and energy harvesting. The algorithm is versatile in the sense of implementation. All aforementioned applications can be set up with very little change in the code, benefit from the use of rigid body dynamics in spatial vector form and numerical techniques in this work.
