ALE formulation for fluid-structure interactions

Abstract

The following paragraphs will be devoted to the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method for modeling fluid-structure interactions. Based on the equations derived in Section 3.5, we describe methods for discretization in time and space. The basic techniques have already been introduced in Chapter 4, such that we can focus on the special characteristics of the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formulation for fluid-structure interaction problems.
