✦ Synopsis

In fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations the meshes at the fluid-structure interface usually do not match due to the different mesh requirements for the flow and structure. The exchange of data over the discrete interface becomes then far from trivial. In this paper we investigate the difference in accuracy and efficiency between conservative and consistent coupling approaches. This is done for an analytical test problem as well as a steady quasi-1D FSI problem, for different coupling methods found in literature. We found that when the coupling method is based on a weak formulation of the coupling conditions the conservative approach is the best choice. For other coupling methods the consistent approach provides the best accuracy and efficiency, because the conservative approach results in unphysical oscillations in the pressure received by the structure.

Domain decomposition is nowadays a common way to speed up complex computations. However, the discrete meshes used in the different domains do not have to match at their common interface, especially when different physical fields are involved such as in fluid-structure interaction computations.
