FSI two-way:how to select density and Young modulus for a flexible plate

Mansoor_shad · June 28, 2017, 04:29

Hello everyone,
I am simulating a two dimensional channel with ANSYS-Fluent in which a flexible plate exists. The plate is horizontally conected to a square block in channel. The block is placed in the center of the height of channel and its dimension is 1mm*1mm. The length of channel is 50mm and the height is 6mm. Water flows in with developed velocity profile. The velocity is 0.2m/s along the channel. The length of plate is 4mm and the thickness is 0.1mm. What I need to know is that how I should choose the best density and young modulus for the plate in order to have the plate move upward and downward. I am confused to set what density and modulus.

Please help me out. It is urgent... Thanks in advance.
