A structure placed in a fluid flow is always affected by the pressure and shear forces acting on the surface leading to structural deformations or deflections. Partially these can be neglected and such a rigid body assumption strongly reduces the complexity of a numerical simulation setup. However, in many circumstances this assumption does not hold and fluid–structure interaction (FSI) becomes of major interest. Technical applications are numerous such as artificial heart valves, lightweight roofage or tents. Therefore, a need for appropriate numerical simulation tools exists for such coupled problems and this is the objective of the present study.
