New article from the group: Cantón-Sánchez, R. and Romero, I. (2025). Fluid-structure interaction between dimensionally-reduced nonlinear dragged solids and incompressible flows, Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 446, 118211 (link)
In this article, we propose a new framework that allows the coupling of structural models (beams, shells, etc.) with incompressible flows based on the Navier-Stokes equations. The idea is based on leveraging standard ALE fluid/solid interaction methods with new operators that transfer the structural kinematics to surrogate solids that enclose the latter. Numerical examples illustrate these ideas.
