Development of finite element formulations for fluid-structure interaction modelling

The project involves integrating new finite element formulations into a calculation code, and proposing validation and application cases to attest to the quality of the developments. The various aspects of this project cover :

• theoretical: the aim is to propose a comparative synthesis of the various mathematical models for dealing with fluid-structure interactions, for two-dimensional rotationally symmetrical problems, taking account of gravity effects and enabling calculations based on modal approaches: to this end, we propose to develop a three-field formulation; based on scientific publications, or by writing new mathematical solutions for analytical cases, useful for validating developments;
