An efficient finite-volume method to study the interaction of two-phase fluid flows with elastic structures

We conduct a series of test cases to verify the implementation of this FSI framework and its parallel performance for an increasing number of CPU cores. These benchmarks include the dynamic and static responses of cantilever and clamped beams under various loads, a lid-driven flow in an elastic cavity, the water entry of an elastic wedge and, finally, a water dam impact on an elastic plate. The results obtained in this work agree well with analytical solutions, laboratory measurements as well as other numerical simulations reported in the literature.
