ALE Incompressible Fluid in LS-DYNA

The computation of fluid forces acting on a rigid or deformable structure constitutes a major problem in fluid-structure interaction. However, the majority of numerical tests consists in using two different codes to separately solve pressure of the fluid and structural displacements. In this paper, a monolithic with an ALE formulation approach is used to implicitly calculate the pressure of an incompressible fluid applied to the structure. The projection method proposed by Gresho is used to decouple the velocity and pressure.
