We present a second-order accurate method for computing the coupled motion of a viscous fluid and an elastic material interface with zero thickness. The fluid flow is described by the Navier-Stokes equations, with a singular force due to the stretching of the moving interface. We decompose the velocity into a “Stokes ” part and a “regular ” part. The first part is determined by the Stokes equations and the singular interfacial force. The Stokes solution is obtained using the immersed interface method, which gives second-order accurate values by incorporating known jumps for the solution and its derivatives into a finite difference method. The regular part of the velocity is given by the Navier-Stokes equations with a body force resulting from the Stokes part. The regular velocity is obtained using a time-stepping method that combines the semi-Lagrangian method with the backward difference formula. Because the body force is continuous, jump conditions are not necessary. For problems with stiff boundary forces, the decomposition approach can be combined with fractional time-stepping, using a smaller time step to advance the interface quickly by Stokes flow, with the velocity computed using boundary integrals. The small time steps maintain numerical stability, while the overall solution is updated on a larger time step to reduce computational cost.

Abstract. We develop a combined field formulation for the fluid structure (FS) interaction problem. The unknowns are (u; p;v), being the fluid velocity, fluid pressure and solid velocity. This combined field formulation uses Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) description for the fluid and Lagrangian description for the solid. It automatically enforces the simultaneous continuities of both velocity and traction along the FS interface. We present a first order in time fully discrete scheme when the flow is incompressible Navier-Stokes and when the solid is elastic. The interface position is determined by first order extrapolation so that the generation of the fluid mesh and the computation of (u; p;v) are decoupled. This explicit interface advancing enables us to save half of the unknowns comparing with traditional monolithic schemes. When the solid has convex strain energy (e.g. linear elastic), we prove that the total energy of the fluid and the solid at time tn is bounded by the total energy at time tn−1. Like in the continuous case, the fluid mesh velocity which is used in ALE description does not enter into the stability bound. Surprisingly, the nonlinear convection term in the Navier-Stokes equations plays a crucial role to stabilize the scheme and the stability result does not apply to Stokes flow. As the nonlinear convection term is treated semi-implicitly, in each time step, we only need to solve a linear system (and only once) which involves merely (u; p;v) if the solid is linear elastic. Two numerical tests including the benchmark test of Navier-Stokes flow past a Saint Venant-Kirchhoff elastic bar are performed. In addition to the stability, we also confirm the first order temporal accuracy of our explicit interface advancing scheme.

We present some mathematical analyses of a recently proposed stochastic implicit interface model for an elastic surface immersed in an incompressible vis-cous fluid subject to fluctuation forces. We derive suitable a priori estimates and establish the well-posedness of pathwise solutions and provide uniform control on the solutions in probability. 1.
