IS19 - Quasi-Newton techniques for partitioned simulation of coupled problems
Organized by: J. Degroote , M. Schulte and N. Hosters
Coupled problems like fluid-structure interaction are frequently solved in a partitioned
way, by coupling two or more existing solvers. If the interaction between the different
coupled problems is strong, then coupling iterations are required in each step of the
calculation to enforce the equilibrium conditions at the interface. However, the
convergence of these iterations can be slow when using a fixed-point strategy, which
significantly increases the computational cost. Therefore, quasi-Newton techniques are
often used to stabilize and accelerate the convergence of these iterations.
This mini-symposium welcomes new developments related to quasi-Newton techniques
for the partitioned simulation of fluid-structure interaction, but also for other coupled
problems. This includes new methods, comparison of methods, parallel implementations,
dimensional scaling tests, best practice guidelines, parameter sensitivities and challenging
use cases.
