vi = u i (7.2.4)
Where u i is the displacement component of fluid.To obtain single variable formulation, eq. (7.2.4) may
be substituted into eq. (7.2.3) and one can get
Similarly, it is possible to obtain the fluid equation in terms of pressure variable only. Differentiating eq.
(7.2.3) w.r.t.Time, the following expression can be obtained.
Derivation of the above expressionand many other related equations can be found in details in fluid
mechanics related text books.

Performing integration by parts on the second terms, one can arrive at the following expression:

Now from earlier relation (eq.7.2.6) we have, p = - rc2 u k,k . Thus, the above equation may be
written as:
ò ( w i ru i + w i,i rc 2
u k,k )dW = -ò w i n i pG

For finite element implementation of the above expression, let consider the interpolation function as N
and u as the nodal displacement vector. Thus,

u = Nu and w = Nw (7.2.20)
Now the divergence of the displacement vector can be expressed as:
u i,i = Lu = LNu = Bu (7.2.21)
Where L = éê ¶ ¶ ùú is the differential operator.Thus eq. (7.2.19) may be written as

Using eq. (7.2.23), the displacements in fluid domain can be determined under external forces applying
proper boundary conditions.

Assuming interpolation function as N and p as the nodal pressure vector, the pressure (p) at any point
can be written as: p = Np and similarly, w = Nw . The divergence of the pressure can be expressed

Applying boundary conditions, eq. (7.2.31) can be solved to calculate the dynamic pressure developed in
the fluid under applied accelerations on the domain.
whereaeiωt is the horizontal component of the ground acceleration in which, ω is the circular frequency
of vibration and i = 1 , n is the outwardly directed normal to the elemental surface along the interface.
In case of vertical dam-reservoir interface p n may be written as p x as both will represent normal to the
element surface. For an inclined dam-reservoir interface p x cannot represent the normal to the element
surface. Therefore, to generalize the expressions p n is used in eq. (7.2.38).If {a} is the vector of nodal
accelerations of generalized coordinates, {B2} may be expressed as
{B2 } = -r [ R 2 ]{a} (7.2.39)
where,
[ R 2 ] = å ò [ N r ] [T ][ N d ]dG

Here, [T] is the transformation matrix for generalized accelerations of a point on the dam reservoir
interface and [Nd] is the matrix of shape functions of the dam used to interpolate the generalized
acceleration at any point on their interface in terms of generalized nodal accelerations of an element.
