Efficient approaches for fluid structure interaction with fully enclosed incompressible flow domains

Many popular partitioned approaches to fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems fail to work for an interesting subset of problems if highly deformable structures are interacting with incompressible flows. This is particularly true for coupling approaches based on Dirichlet-Neumann substructuring, both for weak and strong coupling schemes. The...

The artificial added mass effect in sequential staggered fluid-structure interaction algorithms

The artificial added mass effect inherent in sequentially staggered coupling schemes is investigated by means of a fluid-structure interaction problem. A discrete representation of a simplified added mass operator in terms of the participating coefficient matrices is given and instability conditions are evaluated for different temporal...

An ALE-Chimera method for large deformation fluid structure interaction

This note discusses a combination of the Chimera fixed grid approach and Arbitrary Lagrangean Eulerian ('ALE') based methods for large deformation fluid structure interaction ('FSI'). The governing equations for incompressible flows in an Eulerian framework, a rotating frame of reference and an ALE-setting are discussed in order to point out the...

An eXtended Finite Element Method based approach for large deformation fluid-structure interaction

This paper illustrates aspects of an ongoing effort to develop a fixed grid fluid-structure interaction scheme that can be applied to the interaction of most general structures with incompressible flow. After presenting a list of requirements for future fixed grid methods, an eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) based fixed grid method is...

Multiscale Methods in Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics

The basic idea of multiscale methods, namely the decomposition of a problem into a coarse scale and a fine scale, has in an intuitive manner been used in engineering for many decades, if not for centuries. Also in computational science, large-scale problems have been solved, and local data, for instance displacements, forces or velocities, have...
