Abstract

In this work, we compare different mesh moving techniques for monolithically-coupled fluid-structure interactions in arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian coordinates. The mesh movement is realized by solving an additional partial differential equation of harmonic, linear-elastic, or biharmonic type. We examine an implementation of time discretization that is designed with finite differences. Spatial discretization is based on a Galerkin finite element method. To solve the resulting discrete nonlinear systems, a Newton method with exact Jacobian matrix is used. Our results show that the biharmonic model produces the smoothest meshes but has increased computational cost compared to the other two approaches.
