Abstract
The simulation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems is a challenge in contemporary science and engineering. This contribution presents an approach to FSI problems with incompressible Newtonian fluids and elastic structures and discusses its realization in a general purpose parallel finite element research code. The resulting algorithm is robust and efficient and scales well on parallel machines. Recent attempts on efficiency improvements are discussed and a numerical example is shown.
