This work develops numerical methods (finite difference methods) for equations
of fluid dynamics and equations of elasticity reformulated in the stress variables
(as opposed to natural variables) and applies them to the Fluid-Structure Interac-
tion (FSI) problem using a new model based on the level set method. Equations
reformulated in stress variables are the stress formulation. Previously some work
has been done on numerical methods for stress formulation for the Navier-Stokes
equation. This work extends this research to the equations of elasticity. Additionally
the current research develops a new model for FSI problems are based on this stress
formulation and the level set method. Using this model and new numerical method
for FSI problems is developed with some constraints. Some benchmark results are
presented. -
