Recent Developments in Explicit Robin-Neumann Schemes for Fluid-Structure Interaction

Conference Talk at WCCM-ECCM-ECFD 2014, Barcelona, Spain

Conference presentation on recent developments in explicit Robin-Neumann schemes for fluid-structure interaction. These schemes replace the classical Dirichlet-Neumann coupling with a Robin condition on the fluid side that accounts for the inertia of the structure, so the fluid and the structure are solved only once per time step without sub-iterations. The talk reviewed their stability and accuracy with respect to the added-mass effect and presented extensions such as fully decoupled velocity-pressure-structure splittings.

The explicit Robin-Neumann schemes and their decoupled extensions discussed in the talk are detailed in: LNCS Book Chapter ยท Journal of Computational Physics (2015)
