Title

A stabilization-free mixed DG method for fluid-structure interaction based on a unified formulation

Abstract

In this talk we present a stabilization-free DG method in stress-velocity formulation for fluid-structure interaction problem. A unified mixed formulation is employed for the Stokes equations and the elastodynamic equations. We use the standard polynomial space with strong symmetry to define the stress space, and use the broken H(div)-conforming space of the same degree to define the vector space in a careful way such that the resulting scheme is stable without resorting to any stabilization. The transmission conditions can be incorporated naturally without resorting to additional variables or Nitsche-type stabilization owing to the bespoke construction of the discrete formulation. To show the optimal convergence, we establish a new projection operator for the stress space whose definition accounts for traces of the method. Several numerical experiments are presented to verify the proposed theories.
