Goal-Adaptive Discretization of Fluid-Structure Interaction

The simulation of complex physical phenomena, such as fluid–structure interaction, appears to be within reach in view of the significant progress in computing power over the last decades. Yet, we are still far away from what is desirable in an evermore-demanding, science-and-technology-based society. If, however, we are modest with what we need...

Goal-Oriented A-Posteriori Error Estimation and Adaptivity for Fluid-Structure Interaction

Numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction generally requires vast computational resources. Paradoxically, the computational work is dominated by the complexity of the subsystem that is of least practical interest, viz. the fluid. The resolution of each of the many small-scale features in the fluid is prohibitively expensive. However,...

Dual-based a-posteriori error estimation for fluid-structure interaction by the embedded-domain method

Numerical simulations of fluid-structure interaction typically require vast computational resources. Finite-element techniques employing goal-oriented hp-adaptation strategies could offer a substantial improvement in the efficiency of such simulations. These strategies rely on dual-based a-posteriori error estimates for quantities of interest....

Space/Time Multigrid for a Fluid-Structure-Interaction Problem

The basic iterative method for solving fluid-structure-interaction problems is a defect-correction process based on a partitioning of the underlying operator into a fluid part and a structural part. In the present work we establish for a prototypical model problem that this defect-correction process yields an excellent smoother for multigrid, on...
