Abstract
We look at the computatiorial procedure of computing the
response of a coupled fluid-structure interaction problem.
We use the so called strong fluid-structure coupling - a
totally implicit formulation. At each time step in an implicit
formulation, new values for the solution variables
have to be computed by solving a nonlinear system of
equations, where we assume that we have solvers for the
subproblems. This is often the case, when we have existing
software to solve each subproblem separately, and want to
couple both. We show how to solve the overall nonlinear
system by using only the solvers for the subproblems. This
is achieved not by considering the equilibrium equations,
but the fixed-point problem resulting from the solution
iteration for each of the subproblems.
