A Parallel Solver for FSI Problems with Fictitious Domain Approach

We present and analyze a parallel solver for the solution of fluid structure interaction problems described by a fictitious domain approach. In particular, the fluid is modeled by the non-stationary incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, while the solid evolution is represented by the elasticity eq...

Description
Summary:We present and analyze a parallel solver for the solution of fluid structure interaction problems described by a fictitious domain approach. In particular, the fluid is modeled by the non-stationary incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, while the solid evolution is represented by the elasticity equations. The parallel implementation is based on the PETSc library and the solver has been tested in terms of robustness with respect to mesh refinement and weak scalability by running simulations on a Linux cluster.
