AN IMMERSED STRUCTURAL POTENTIAL METHOD FRAMEWORK FOR INCOMPRESSIBLE FLEXIBLE/RIGID/MULTI-PHASE FLOW INTERACTION

In this paper, a general framework for the computational simulation of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems involving rigid/flexible solids and multiphase flows is presented. The proposed methodology builds upon the Immersed Structural Potential Method (ISPM) developed by the authors [1, 2] for the simulation of single-phase FSI problems. Several numerical examples are presented to showcase and benchmark the proposed methodology in the solution of complex multi-body multi-phase problems.
