On the Trajectory of a Light Small Rigid Body in an Incompressible Viscous Fluid

In this paper, we study the dynamics of a small rigid body in a viscous incompressible fluid in dimension two and three. More precisely we investigate the trajectory of the rigid body in the limit when its mass and its size tend to zero. We show that the velocity of the center of mass of the rigid body coincides with the background fluid...

Cartesian Discretisations for Fluid-Structure Interaction - Efficient Flow Solver

The simulation of multiphysical scenarios has become a more and more important task of scientific computing within the last years. Due to their simplicity compared to monolithic approaches (solving a unique model for the whole scenario), partitioned approaches are widespread. They allow for a reusage of existing and established solvers for the...
