Parallel Partitioned Simulations of Real World’s Coupled Problems

Many researchers have attempted to develop numerical methods for solving FSI problems with improved accuracy, problem scale, stability, robustness, and efficiency (for example, Mittal S and Tezduyar T E, 1992; Farhat C and Lessoine M, 2000; Ohayon R, 2001; Basilevs et al., 2013). Those previous studies have made significant progress, but there are still strong demands for further researches on shortening computation time,increasing the degrees of freedom (DOFs) of models and dealing with a variety of phenomena in a generalized manner in order to solve real world’s coupled problems of complex machines and structures. Thus we have been developing an efficient and robust simulation system to solve a variety of large-scale coupled problems in parallel computing environments (Kataoka et al., 2014; Yoshimura et al., 2015a; Yamada et al., Accepted).
