Abstract

Parallel overlapping Schwarz preconditioners are considered and applied to the structural block in monolithic fluid-structure interaction (FSI). The twolevel overlapping Schwarz method uses a coarse level based on energy minimizing functions. Linear elastic as well as nonlinear, anisotropic hyperelastic structural models are considered in an FSI problem of a pressure wave in a tube. Using our recent parallel implementation of a two-level overlapping Schwarz preconditioner based on the Trilinos library, the total computation time of our FSI benchmark problem was reduced by more than a factor of two compared to the algebraic onelevel overlapping Schwarz method used previously. Finally, also strong scalability for our FSI problem is shown for up to 512 processor cores.
