A robust algorithm for computational floating body dynamics

We present a non-iterative algorithm, FloatStepper, for coupling the motion of a rigid body and an incompressible fluid in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The purpose of the algorithm is to remove the so-called added mass instability problem, which may arise when a light, floating bo...
