Abstract
In the previous chapters the Unified formulation was used for solving the mechanics of fluids and solids separately. In this chapter it will be shown that the method is also suitable for solving fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems. The algorithm for coupling the three solid formulations (the V, the VP and the VPS elements) with the mixed Velocity–Pressure FIC-stabilized formulation for Newtonian fluids is described. It will be shown that the proposed method gives the possibility to select the formulation for the solid depending on the problem to solve. The numerical results will be validated by comparing the solution of benchmark FSI problems with the results of the literature.
