Water flowing into an object, and the object deforms such as a waterballoon

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to have fluid interaction with a solid that will deform like a balloon due to an inlet of water coming into the object.

What model library could i use to view pressures at the wall of the balloon due to the fluid flowing in?

it would have to include large deformations and such.

thank you

HI

I would say a mix of FSI with in addition large displacements for the structural part, or even hyperelastic physics/materials.
But I havent checked if that is already implemented in FSI. If not you will have to link the physics yourself. A good exercice ;)

Good luck

We created a 3-D model in Incompressible Navier-Stokes and entered in a fluid flow, however, the model won't deform as we'd like it to. After implementing the Solid Stress-Strain module, the model shows a uniform amount of pressure, however, at one point it looks like there is a leak in the model. I've attached the model for examination. Thanks in advance.
