• A comparative study of beam element formulations for nonlinear analysis: corotatinal vs. geometrically exact formulations 

      Mathisen, Kjell Magne; Bazilevs, Yuri; Haugen, Bjørn; Helgedagsrud, Tore Andreas; Kvamsdal, Trond; Okstad, Knut Morten; Raknes, Siv Bente (Chapter, 2017)
      In this work the geometrically exact three-dimensional beam theory has been used as basis for development of a family of isoparametric higher order large deformation curved beam elements. Geometrically exact three-dimensional ...
    • Isogeometric methods for CFD and FSI-simulation of flow around turbine blades 

      van Opstal, Timo Matteo; Fonn, Eivind; Holdahl, Runar; Kvamsdal, Trond; Kvarving, Arne Morten; Mathisen, Kjell Magne; Nordanger, Knut; Okstad, Knut Morten; Rasheed, Adil; Tabib, Mandar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Coupled fluid-structure interaction simulations of wind turbines have traditionally been considered computationally too expensive to carry out. However, more powerful computers and better solution techniques based on ...
    • Numerical benchmarking of fluid–structure interaction: An isogeometric finite element approach 

      Nordanger, Knut; Rasheed, Adil; Okstad, Knut Morten; Kvarving, Arne Morten; Holdahl, Runar; Kvamsdal, Trond (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      In this paper we describe and evaluate an isogeometric finite element program, IFEM-FSI, for doing coupled fluid–structure interaction simulations. We investigate the role played by employing higher polynomial orders and ...
