Abstract

A simplified formulation of the fluid-structure interaction problem is presented in order to analyze the coupling conditions and the effect of a moving fluid domain on the numerical solution. The resulting one-dimensional model equations are discretized by the finite element method in space and then solved by implicit timestepping schemes, with the coupling conditions explicitly enforced by means of corresponding constraint equations in a differential-algebraic formulation. First numerical results indicate an influence of the moving fluid mesh on the stability properties of commonly used time integrators.
