Fictitious domain approach to FSI: theoretical results and implementation details

Professor Boffi will talk about: 'Fictitious domain approach to FSI: theoretical results and implementation details'

He will review the main aspects of our fictitious domain - distributed Lagrange multiplier - approach to the approximation of fluid-structure interaction problems. Theoretical results include the analysis of the continuous problem in a linearized setting and the stability of the discrete scheme in space and time. Professor Boffi will give details on some implementation aspects related to the treatment/integration of the coupling terms and propose a multigrid strategy for the solution of the discrete system.
