A Multirate Approach for Fluid-Structure Interaction Computation with Decoupled Methods

Abstract

We investigate a multirate time step approach applied to decoupled methods in fluid and structure interaction(FSI) computation, where two different time steps are used for fluid and structure respectively. For illustration, the multirate technique is tested by the decoupled β-scheme. Numerical experiments show that the proposed approach is stable and retains the same order accuracy as the original single time step schemes, while with much less computational expense.
