Efficient numerical methods for partitioned fluid-structure interaction simulations

Fluid-structure interaction simulations are crucial for many engineering problems. For example, the blood flow around new heart valves or the deployment of airbags during a car crash are often modeled with fluidstructure interaction simulations. Also, to design safe parachutes, simulations are carried out to model the unsteady deformations of...

Acceleration of Strongly Coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction with Manifold Mapping

Strongly coupled partitioned fluid-structure interaction problems require multiple coupling iterations per time step. The fluid domain and the structure domain are solved multiple times in each time step such that the kinematic and dynamic interface conditions on the fluid-structure interface are satisfied. Quasi-Newton methods have been...

Manifold mapping optimization with of without true gradients

This paper deals with the Space Mapping optimization algorithms in general and with the Manifold Mapping technique in particular. The idea of such algorithms is to optimize a model with a minimum number of each objective function evaluations using a less accurate but faster model. In this optimization procedure, fine and coarse models interact...
