Fluid-Structure Interaction Work Group
The Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) group at CATS is focussing on problems for which the continuum mechanics problem can be divided into a fluid and a structural domain, clearly divided by an interface and not possible to solve indepedently. The research of the group includes the development of methods as well as application-based analysis of physical phenomena. The group benefits a lot from the close cooperation with both other groups.
Currently we are focussing on applications of the following fields:
- Aeroelasticity & Aerothermoelasticity
- Hydroelasticity
- Automotive Engineering • Civil Engineering
Our numerical methods include:
- Temporal & Spatial Coupling
- Mesh Deformation
- Reduced Order Models
- Optimal Control
- Spline-based finite element methods
- Improvement of single field solvers (i.e. for compressible fluids)
