A fully implicit computational strategy for strongly coupled fluid-solid interaction (Q2465584)

This article summarizes the authors' research work in the area of computational modeling of interaction of fluid flows with solid structures. First, the authors give an overview of computational strategies commonly employed for the simulation of fluid-solid interaction and their perspective. Finite element formulations for the fluid flow, the fluid mesh update and the discretization of the solid are discussed. The modeling of the interface and solution algorithms are described, and various numerical examples are considered. Some details are presented on how the methodology can be combined with remeshing strategies to extend its range of applicability.
