Multi-level and quasi-Newton acceleration for strongly coupled partitioned fluid-structure interaction

Two reduced order models are presented for the simulation of physically strong coupled fluid-structure interaction problem, based on computationally partitioned flow and structure solvers. The reduced order models used are a class of quasi-Newton coupling methods to obtain a stable solution and to reduce the number of subiterations. The second...

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,...

An unsteady adaptive stochastic finite elements uncertainty quantification method for fluid-structure interaction problems

Adaptive Finite Element Approximation of Fluid-Structure Interaction Based on an Eulerian Variational Formulation

We propose a general variational framework for the adaptive finite element approximation of fluid-structure interaction problems. The modeling is based on an Eulerian description of the (incompressible) fluid as well as the (elastic) structure dynamics. This is achieved by tracking the movement of the initial positions of all `material' points....

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....

A virtual test facility for simulating detonation-induced deformation and fracture of thin flexible shells

The fluid-structure interaction simulation of detonation- and shock-wave-loaded fracturing thin-walled structures requires numerical methods that can cope with large deformations as well as topology changes. We present a robust level-set-based approach that integrates a Lagrangian thin shell finite element solver with fracture and fragmentation...
