Abstract

Abstract In scientific computing there is a great interest in numerical simulation of fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) problems. Within this work a numerical approach to simulate fluid‐structure interactions between elastic structures and weakly incompressible fluids is developed. For the fluid part and the solid part the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method (SPH) and the Finite Element Method (FEM) are used, respectively. To transfer the resulting reaction forces from the fluid particles onto the structure's surface two methods are implemented, investigated and compared. (© 2016 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
