Use of the Finite Element Method and Computational Fluid Dynamics in Motion Analysis of Complex Shapes, With Examples from Sports
Abstract
In the research and development of sports, Finite Element Methods (FEMs) and Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are frequently used as tools to examine the transformation of a solid and the flow of a fluid, respectively. This chapter presents a simplified approach to understanding the FEM and CFD and their basic equations, providing the foundation for a theoretical understanding of the two methods. To facilitate an understanding of the application of the FEM to sports research, an analysis of the impact of landing on the human body is presented. Similarly, the application of CFD to sports research is illustrated through a flow analysis around spiked shoes. This chapter will not only enable students to study CFD but also introduce them to literature on the FEM and CFD with regard to other sports to encourage them to study further.
