This problem investigates the response of fluid under gravity loading passing through a flexible dam gate.
In this example the fluid undergoes extreme deformation during the simulation; therefore, it is modeled as an Eulerian fluid. The significantly stiffer dam is modeled with Lagrangian elements. The coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) analysis technique is used to account for the interaction between the fluid and the dam. The response of the dam is compared to experimental results.
