Abstract
The numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction is
one of the most interesting problems in scientific computing.
In this paper partitioned methods, i.e. the use
of different codes for the different physical domains, are
considered for the computation of fluid-structure interaction.
We describe the coupling of two different codes
for the fluid and the structure part using a general coupling
interface library. For the coupling of two codes with
a staggered and partitioned procedure, it is investigated
how to obtain a stable, yet efficient overall algorithm. On
a parallel computer, the issue of load balancing and communication
costs demands additional attention. Staggering
and coupling procedures, which achieve high parallel
efficiency, are described.
