Objectives

The objective of the course is to present the formulations and the discretization methods capable of simulating coupled problems. For this purpose, the integral and variational formulations, adapted to fluid and solid media, will be analyzed and put in complementarity. Digital implementations on concrete examples will be carried out within the framework of 3 BE. The fluid-structure coupling, with and without flow, will be particularly studied as well as the electromagnetic and electro-static coupling in the case of solid and fluid media (piezoelectics, ferro-fluids, magneto-strictives).
