β¦ Synopsis
The interaction between the hydrodynamic forces of a flow field and the elastic forces of adjacent deformable boundaries is described by elastohydrodynamics, a coupled fluid-elastic membrane problem. Direct numerical solution of the unsteady, highly non-linear equations requires that the dynamic evolution of both the flow field and the domain shape be determined as part of the solution, since neither is known a priori. This paper describes a numerical algorithm based on the deformable spatial domain space-time (DSD=ST) finite element method for the unsteady motion of an incompressible, viscous fluid with elastic membrane interaction. The unsteady Navier-Stoke and elastic membrane equations are solved separately using an iterative procedure by the GMRES technique with an incomplete lower-upper (ILU) decomposition at every time instant. One-dimensional, twodimensional and deformable domain model problems are used to demonstrate the capabilities and accuracy of the present algorithm. Both steady state and transient problems are studied.

We present reliable finite element discretizations based on displacement/pressure interpolations for the analysis of acoustic fluid-structure interaction problems. The finite element interpolations are selected using the inf-sup condition, and emphasis is given to the fact that the boundary conditio
This is a presentation of a quadrilateral finite element for wrinkled curved elastic membranes. A modified form of the deformation gradient enables us to avoid the spurious compressive stresses generated by a classical model. It results in non-linear relations for the eigencomponents of the Cauchy s
Using the perturbation method, the non-linear exterior fluid-structure interaction problem is separated into first-and second-order problems. With the finite element method for the structure and the finite-infinite element method for the fluid, we obtain a first-order coupled matrix system and a sec
