The purpose of this paper is to investigate viscous incompressible fluid interaction with an oscillating backflow preventer. The consistent penalty function finite element method is employed to model the governing equations for the fluid, and the Newmark approach is used to solve the equilibrium equation for the structural system. The boundary conditions for the interfaces between fluid and solid are set for satisfying the compatibility constraints. From the computational results, it is observed that motion of the structural element which becomes a moving boundry had an influence on the flow fields significantly. In a steady inlet flow, the structural system can be balanced by the fluid force, steady-state responses for both structural system and fluid are then reached for a sufficiently long time. These responses may provide insight of the application in the cross-connection control field.
