Existence, uniqueness, and approximation of a fictitious domain formulation for fluid-structure interactions

In this paper we describe a computational model for the simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems based on a fictitious domain approach. We summarize the results presented over the last years when our research evolved from the Finite Element Immersed Boundary Method (FEIBM) to the actual Finite Element Distributed Lagrange Multiplier method (FE-DLM). We recall the well-posedness of our formulation at the continuous level in a simplified setting. We describe various time semi-discretizations that provide unconditionally stable schemes. Finally we report the stability analysis for the finite element space discretization where some improvements and generalizations of the previous results are obtained.
