Simulation of FSI Using a Monolithic Code

The main concern in fluid-structure interaction problems is the computation of fluid forces that act on a rigid or deformable structure. However, the majority of numerical test consists in employing two different codes to separately solve pressure of the fluid and structural displacements. In this paper, a monolithic with an ALE formulation approach is used to implicitly calculate the pressure of an incompressible fluid applied to the structure. The velocity-pressure formulation is decoupled by the projection method proposed by Gresho.
