Fluid-structure interaction with applications in biomechanics

Abstract

The problem of interaction for an incompressible fluid and an incompressible elastic material in a fully coupled arbitrary LagrangianEulerian (ALE) formulation is solved numericaly. The mathematical description and the numerical schemes are designed in such a way that more complicated constitutive relations (and more realistic for bioengineering applications) can be incorporated easily.
