On numerical approximations to fluid-structure interactions involving compressible fluids (2002.04636v2)
Published 11 Feb 2020 in math.NA and cs.NA
Abstract: In this paper we introduce a numerical scheme for fluid-structure interaction problems in two or three space dimensions: A flexible elastic plate is interacting with a viscous, compressible barotropic fluid. Hence the physical domain of definition (the domain of Eulerian coordinates) is changing in time. We introduce a fully discrete scheme that is stable, satisfies geometric conservation, mass conservation and the positivity of the density. We also prove that the scheme is consistent with the definition of continuous weak solutions.
