Strong coupling strategy for fluid–structure interaction problems in supersonic regime via fixed point iteration

In this paper some results on the convergence of the Gauss–Seidel iteration when solving fluid/structure interaction problems with strong coupling via fixed point iteration are presented. The flow-induced vibration of a flat plate aligned with the flow direction at supersonic Mach number is studied. The precision of different predictor schemes and the influence of the partitioned strong coupling on stability is discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
