Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
1) Basic concepts in continuum mechanics
2) Modeling of fluid flows and solid mechanics
3) FSI-modeling: coupling techniques of fluids and solids,
transformations between Eulerian and Lagrangian
coordinate systems
4) Discretization: Time, space (FEM), nonlinear and
linear solvers
5) Sensitivity analysis for FSI: a posteriori error estimation,
gradient-based optimization (if time permits)

Learning Outcome
After successful completion of the module, students are able to formulate, couple, discretize and simulate coupled PDE systems in which one (the fluid) is formulated in Eulerian coordinates and the other (the solid) in Lagrangian coordinates.
In this class, students will learn about coupling conditions for interface problems. They will get an understanding about the properties of the single subsystems (i.e., their mathematical properties and related types of discretization).
