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...

Fluid-structure interaction simulations: Efficient higher order time integration of partitioned systems

The simulation of fluid-structure interaction can be a very time-consuming task due to the large amount of time steps that need to be taken in order to obtain an accurate solution. To reduce computing times a higher order time integration algorithm is applied. Based on a mixed combination of implicit and explicit multistage Runge-Kutta schemes,...
